Hello!
A box with GCC 4.8.3 compiler didn't like drm_dp_mst_topology.c. The
following (lightly tested) patch makes it happy and seems OK for newer
compilers as well.
Is this of interest?
Thanx, Paul

How about a memset instead? That should be consistent across compilers.

The kernel has adopted the gccism: struct drm_dp_desc desc = {};
git grep '= {}' | wc -l: 2046
git grep '= { }' | wc -l: 694

Perhaps this is simpler as:
struct drm_dp_desc desc = {};

Does:
struct drm_dp_desc desc = { };
work for your geriatric compiler?

And this works well, a big "thank you!" to all three of you!
Please see below for the updated patch.

EXP drm: Make drm_dp_mst_dsc_aux_for_port() safe for old compilers
Older compilers either want two extra pairs of curly braces around the
initializer for local variable desc, or they want a single pair of curly
braces with nothing inside. Current Linux-kernel practice favors the
latter, so this commit makes it so.
