Note this is only subjectively better. IMHO with just a single space
this is perfectly readable. Aligning the = might look nice, but it's
also annoying at times. When you add another member (e.g.
.iterate_shared) you either add a line that doesn't match all others, or
you have to touch all other lines of that struct which (objectively?)
hurts readability of that patch. Also for generated patches this kind of
alignment yields extra work. (See for example
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20230525205840.734432-1-u.kleine-koenig@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx/
which required semi-manual fixup to keep the alignment after coccinelle
generated the patch.)
If you still think this is a good idea, I'd ask you to stick to one
style for the whole file. e.g. axis_fifo_driver uses inconsistent
and different indention.
A thing that IMHO is more useful to change here, is the name fops; I'd
suggest something like axis_fifo_fops (and also use prefixes for some
other symbols like "get_dts_property"). In 6.4-rc1 my ctags file knows
about 64 different places that define something called "fops".
Just my 0.02€,
Uwe
