It is generally accepted that we don't mention pointers/values which are
initialised to NULL/0 in initialisers.

No need to open code the initialisation, rather than using the
module_*_driver() helper macros to avoid the problem which Dave mentioned.

These macros are only there to avoid having to write out the same boiler
plate in loads of simple drivers.  As soon as a driver has more than one
device driver structure in it, it needs to be open coded.
