For older versions of gcc, the array = {0}; will cause warnings:

drivers/net/ethernet/mscc/ocelot_vcap.c:755:11: warning: missing braces around initializer [-Wmissing-braces]

Sorry, I don't understand what the problem is, or why your patch fixes
it. What version of gcc are you testing with?

Nothing wrong and { 0 } is the right initializer, the reports must be
from some ancient gcc but we weren't told which one either.

Old GCC does not like the 0, if the members of struct are not scalars.

struct ocelot_vcap_u16 {
u8 value[2];
u8 mask[2];
};

In this case the first member is an array.

It wants us to add another curly brace:

struct ocelot_vcap_u16 etype = {{0}};

... or we can just skip the 0.

That's just FWIW. I don't remember which versions of GCC behave like
that, I just know we get a constant stream of this sort of fixes.
I think clang may generate a similar warning.

Pujin, please specify the version of GCC you're using and repost.

I am reading that the empty set initializer is a GNU extension. I would
not like to see yet another patch from clang folks coming as a follow-up
to this one.

If the initializer really has to be changed, I would prefer to see a memset.
