Subject: [PATCH] coccinelle: Check for missing NULL terminators in of_device_id tables

Failure to terminate an of_device_id table can lead to confusing
failures depending on where the compiler places the array. Add a
check to make sure these tables are terminated. Thanks to Mitchel
Humpherys for coming up with the initial pattern.
