OK, there is a reason to do it. But is the benefit really worth the
breakage?
Yes because your drivers will silently break anyways, god knows what
lies at the next word at the end of the old file_operations structure
in your non-source driver (maybe the first word of some other
structure, maybe the first instruction of some function, who knows).
Perhaps you consider silent total failures acceptable.
