Actually you can do:

const struct dev_pm_ops test = {
    DEFAULT_PLATFORM_PM_OPS,
    .prepare = my_func,
    ...
};

where:

#define DEFAULT_PLATFORM_PM_OPS \
    .prepare = platform_pm_prepare, \
    .complete = platform_pm_complete, \
    ...

In case of repeated field assignments, gcc uses the last value (as per
http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Designated-Inits.html).
