[PATCH v3 2/3] extcon: Use sizeof(*pointer) instead of sizeof(type)

From: Andy Shevchenko
Date: Tue Apr 11 2023 - 07:49:02 EST


It is preferred to use sizeof(*pointer) instead of sizeof(type).
The type of the variable can change and one needs not change
the former (unlike the latter). No functional change intended.
