[1/2] atmel: at76c50x: use sizeof(*pointer) instead of sizeof(type)

Commit Message

Erick Archer June 2, 2024, 4:13 p.m. UTC

It is preferred to use sizeof(*pointer) instead of sizeof(type)
due to the type of the variable can change and one needs not
change the former (unlike the latter). This patch has no effect
on runtime behavior.

At the same time remove some redundant NULL initializations.
