How long has that been valid? Because this is certainly new to the kernel, and sparse does complain about this initializer.
Sparse is clearly wrong.
I went back to my old K&R book, and the "perhaps in braces" languager is there in that original (ok, so I only have the "newer" ANSI version of K&R, so I'm not checking the _original_ original).
I guess we might as well ignore the sparse problem, since sparse ends up having issues with so many other newer things we're doing, and we don't have anybody maintaining it.
