Actually, it's not fine ... it's giving this error:
drivers/misc/enclosure.c: In function 'set_component_status':
drivers/misc/enclosure.c:453: warning: array subscript is above array bounds
It's another place where there's an assumption that the array is zero
terminated.
I think the actual best fix is simply to make the assumption true, like
the patch below.
