[PATCH 2/2] [media] Cypress: Improve a size determination in cypress_load_firmware()

[SF Markus Elfring]

From: Markus Elfring <elfr...@users.sourceforge.net>
Date: Mon, 28 Aug 2017 11:55:16 +0200

Replace the specification of a data structure by a pointer dereference
as the parameter for the operator "sizeof" to make the corresponding size
determination a bit safer according to the Linux coding style convention.

This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.
