Unfortunately I don't think gcc 2.95 accepts that syntax. For
example the following:
void foo(void)
{
struct {
struct {
int y;
} x;
} bar = {
.x.y = 1
};
}
gives
a.c: In function `foo':
a.c:8: unknown field `y' specified in initializer
when compiled with gcc 2.95.
I guess we could do
.driver = { .name = "DAC960" },
but that seems silly as well.
