ATM-nicstar: Refactor a kmalloc() call in ns_init_card()
* The script "checkpatch.pl" can point out that assignments should usually not be performed within condition checks. Thus move an assignment for a local variable to a separate statement in this function. * 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.
