Oh, I see. Finally something I can disagree =) I quickly opened few
random drivers which declare match table. None of them practiced this
good practice. So I guess it is not such a standard after all. And I
guess the meaning of last entry in match table should be quite obvious.
Adding the comment /* sentinel */ sounds like stating the obvious at
best - at worst it gets one just to wonder what the "sentinel" means =)

As static structs should be initialized to zero I'd say it is not
required. Will remove this. Thanks for pointing this out.
