This is a zero-length array, its entries are not pointers but flattened 
lookup entries. Thus you cannot simply null-terminate it. It would be 
possible to use { NULL } as a terminator, but this would expand into a 
whole gpiod_lookup and is not very pleasant esthetically-speaking. So I 
think the size member is maybe better suited here.
