net/mac80211: Correct size given to memset
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Memset should be given the size of the structure, not the size of the pointer.

The semantic patch that makes this change is as follows:
(http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/)

// <smpl>

type T;
T *x;
expression E;
@@

memset(x, E, sizeof(
+ *
 x))
// </smpl>
