Fun, as it's also used in mv6_ops and mv_iie_ops. That's where I copied it
from. I really don't have anywhere near the C fu to think up such
constructs all by myself :-D
What it does (I've been assuming) is include any ops defined in the struct
that is being referred to. So mv6xxx_iie_ops gets all the ops defined for
mv6xxx_ops plus mv_iie_enable_led_blink.
