Subject: Re: [PATCH v2] 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 pattern initially.

v3: Removed unneeded rule bad_of_table.  Placed * in context rule on the 
closing brace; putting it on the field caused all fields to be marked.
