I didn’t know that. But on the other hand, I like having it explicit, and it
should not add any overhead.

I prefer to use a plural noun when talking about a container of those nouns,
rathter than a counter of those nouns. But I’ll change it.

--" I was planning to use a dynamic size to allow numbers bigger than 99,
and
lesser than 10, but stopped midway through the process. I’ll revert to a plain
stack-allocated.

Yeah, I’m not really fond of that part. I’ll have a look at drm_crtc.c!

It increases the size of the object file. I believe it's kernel policy
to avoid static initializations to 0. (Note that this doesn't hold in
regular user applications, just the kernel.)

 I believe Bugzilla: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=86539 is
the preferred format. I think this is picked up by the mesa release scripts
or some such.
