no no, if this is the case we have bigger problems ;)

okay, what about go like cdclk terminator then and use only {},
then iterate with

for (entry = gt->steering_table[type]; entry->start; entry++) {

But well, looking at patch 3 it is indeed minor thing...

hmm... got it...

So, my only remaining concern with this patch is if it is bisectable...
if the checks without the terminators won't blow up any auto bisect
case...
