The original code used { 0, } and that seems common sd.c. { } was not used in sd.c.

I didn't see anything in coding-style.rst. It does not make any difference to me
other than it's better to be consistent unless we are supposed to be transitioning
to a new style.

Yes, but it was like the first comment. The original code didn't do
that and it seemed more common to not do it. Do we want to switch
or are we transitioning? It does not matter to me. Both are simple changes.
