[PATCH v1] watchdog: Use named initializers for platform_device_id arrays
From: Uwe Kleine-König (The Capable Hub)
Date: Tue Jun 16 2026 - 11:37:41 EST
Named initializers are better readable and more robust to changes of the
struct definition. This robustness is relevant for a planned change to
struct platform_device_id replacing .driver_data by an anonymous union.
For one driver drop the unused assignment to .driver_data instead.
While touching these arrays unify spacing and usage of commas.
There is no effect on the compiled arrays.

Hello,
this is similar in spirit as the i2c patches merged during the current
merge window:
c574bdb52409 ("watchdog: ziirave_wdt: Use named initializers for struct i2c_device_id")
54c726fbb533 ("watchdog: sc1200: Drop unused assignment of pnp_device_id driver data")
but for platform_device_id.
Best regards
Uwe
