It is true that I define an array of size 10. It is just some arbitrary number
with forward thinking. I don't really have to use it to the maximum today as long
as I satisfy the calling conventions.

What is important is that the of_device_match() and acpi_device_match() functions
will stop searching only if they find an empty element. The {} element.

That's the calling semantics of of_device_match() and acpi_device_match().

Besides, C compiler also won't let me put two arrays together like this.

struct my_struct {
	struct some_struct array1[]
	struct some_struct array2[]
}
