I have no strong opinion here, my patch introduces the named initializer
for both members for consistency. Note that my patches for all the other
subsystems (and also other *_device_id) do the same and you're the first
maintainer with that expressed preference.

I even sent a few patches that adapt initializers without .driver_data
(e.g.
https://lore.kernel.org/all/177932943265.3832404.360063047381979287.git-patchwork-notify@kernel.org/)
that got positive feedback so far.

So if you're ok with having input differ in style from (up to now) all
other subsystems, I can rework the patch.

Best regards
Uwe
