Looks good, thanks.

Note that there is some interaction between struct ipa_power_data
and struct ipa_power (the former is used to initialize the latter).
Both of these contain flexible arrays counted by another field in
the structure.  It seems possible that the way these are initialized
might need slight modification to allow the compiler to do its
enforcement; if that's the case, please reach out to me.
