Coccinelle (scripts/coccinelle/misc/noderef.cocci) reports:

  drivers/clk/keystone/sci-clk.c:391:8-14: ERROR: application of
  sizeof to pointer

In sci_clk_get(), 'clk' is declared as 'struct sci_clk **', so
sizeof(clk) is sizeof(struct sci_clk **) which is the size of a
pointer rather than the size of an array element. provider->clocks
is an array of 'struct sci_clk *', so the canonical size argument
to bsearch() is sizeof(*clk) (i.e. sizeof(struct sci_clk *)).

The two values are equal on every supported architecture, so this
is correctness/idiom, not a runtime fix, but the new form matches
the rest of the bsearch() callers in the tree and silences the
Coccinelle warning the script flagged.

I have applied the following to branch ti-k3-sci-clk-next on [1].
Thank you!

[1/1] clk: keystone: sci-clk: fix application of sizeof to pointer
      commit: 2b0123e4a9257fa2933d13d1bca9ac36467efac1

All being well this means that it will be integrated into the linux-next
tree (usually sometime in the next 24 hours) and sent up the chain during
the next merge window (or sooner if it is a relevant bug fix), however if
problems are discovered then the patch may be dropped or reverted.

You may get further e-mails resulting from automated or manual testing
and review of the tree, please engage with people reporting problems and
send followup patches addressing any issues that are reported if needed.

If any updates are required or you are submitting further changes they
should be sent as incremental updates against current git, existing
patches will not be replaced.

Please add any relevant lists and maintainers to the CCs when replying
to this mail.
