I just wanted to check which parameters are required and which are
optional. And the array is definitely required, so the core should check
for it IMHO.

Because NULL is what we get if we kzalloc a structure unlike the values
you mentioned.

No AI was involved in the generation of these patches. I think I marked
the patches which resulted from AI review correctly so far.
