In the MMC subsystem, we see such initializers that only clears the
first member explicitly.
For example,
struct mmc_request mrq = {NULL};
sets the first member (.sbc) to NULL explicitly. However, this is
an unstable form because we may insert a non-pointer member at the
top of the struct mmc_request in the future. (if we do so, the
compiler will spit warnings.)
So, using a designated initializer is preferred coding style. The
expression above is equivalent to:
struct mmc_request mrq = { .sbc = NULL };
Of course, this does not express our intention. We want to fill
all struct members with zeros. Please note struct members are
implicitly zero-cleared unless otherwise specified in the initializer.
After all, the most reasonable (and stable) form is:
struct mmc_request mrq = {};
Do likewise for mmc_command, mmc_data as well.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
