The __array() entry is a bit special - i wouldnt worry much about
it, please ignore the checkpatch warning in this case - or remove
the prefix tab.

The alignment of the fields are useful visually: all the field names
are enumerated in a vertical row and are easy to see at a glance.
The postfix tabs are nice because they move the non-C-syntax closing
')' out of the line of sight. The prefix tabs are useful for a
similar reason.
