The rationale is that if someone wants to add more code you will not
need to take care of deeper indentation and potentially split lines.

I have different opinion, but yes. It's more matter of taste with
rationale above (perhaps never happen to this code).

This is not.
The rationale is pretty obvious, terminator must terminate. With cheap
price (no comma), we just prevent some potential weird cases (bad
patch application for example, or not very careful contributor) where
entry goes after. Compiler will fail.

So, can we switch to descriptors?

Indeed.

It will fail in the same way. It does nothing more, than keeping a
pointer to release function and its data.

a) we don't care about out of tree much;
b) there are other means to provide date w/o using platform data:
- unified device property API (including built-in device properties)
- bunch of lookup tables GPIO, regulator, PWM, etc
- fwnode graph for more complex cases with device dependencies
