Actually the  { } is enough to initialise that. But if you want to be super
explicit... :-)

dev->of_node check is not needed, see below.

We may always require data to be present. As you use a default one anyway.

And if it is not provided we will have a crash which is fine. It will just
point that the code was not ever been run on real HW.

Unneeded blank line.
