[PATCH v1 0/3] rtc: Use named initializers for platform_device_id arrays

["Uwe Kleine-König (The Capable Hub)" <u.kleine-koenig@baylibre.com>]

Hello,

this series targets to use named initializers for platform_device_id
arrays. In general these are better readable for humans and more robust
to changes in the respective struct definition.

This robustness is needed as I want to do

	diff --git a/include/linux/mod_devicetable.h b/include/linux/mod_devicetable.h
	--- a/include/linux/mod_devicetable.h
	+++ b/include/linux/mod_devicetable.h
	@@ -610,4 +610,7 @@ struct dmi_system_id {
	 struct platform_device_id {
		char name[PLATFORM_NAME_SIZE];
	-	kernel_ulong_t driver_data;
	+	union {
	+		kernel_ulong_t driver_data;
	+		const void *driver_data_ptr;
	+	};
	 };

which allows dropping several casts and eases porting CHERI to mainline
linux. A possible follow-up change is the following example:

	diff --git a/drivers/rtc/rtc-max77686.c b/drivers/rtc/rtc-max77686.c

	-	{ .name = "max77620-rtc", .driver_data = (kernel_ulong_t)&max77620_drv_data },

	+	{ .name = "max77802-rtc", .driver_data_ptr = &max77802_drv_data },
	+	{ .name = "max77620-rtc", .driver_data_ptr = &max77620_drv_data },
	+	{ .name = "max77714-rtc", .driver_data_ptr = &max77714_drv_data },
		{ }
	 };
	 MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(platform, rtc_id);

increasing readability due to less casting which also improves type safety.

Best regards
