So I'll spell it out instead. I kinda like the notion of default
initializers, it's much more obviously correct and impossible to
accidentally leave anything uninitialized (or rather wrongly initialized
with 0).

In lantiq_gswip.c it would look like this then:
	.mii_cfg = {
		[0] = GSWIP_MII_CFGp(0),
		[1] = GSWIP_MII_CFGp(1),
		[2 ... 4] = -1,
		[5] = GSWIP_MII_CFGp(5),
		[6] = -1,
	},
	.mii_pcdu = {
		[0] = GSWIP_MII_PCDU0,
		[1] = GSWIP_MII_PCDU1,
		[2 ... 4] = -1,
		[5] = GSWIP_MII_PCDU5,
		[6] = -1,
	},
...
	.mii_cfg = {
		[0] = GSWIP_MII_CFGp(0),
		[1 ... 4] = -1,
		[5] = GSWIP_MII_CFGp(5),
		[6] = -1,
	},
	.mii_pcdu = {
		[0] = GSWIP_MII_PCDU0,
		[1 ... 4] = -1,
		[5] = GSWIP_MII_PCDU5,
		[6] = -1,
	},
