Kernel CI trips with
warning: initialized field overwritten [-Woverride-init]

Would it be ok to enclose the gswip_hw_info initializers with
__diag_push();
__diag_ignore_all("-Woverride-init",
		  "logic to initialize all and then override some is OK");

like it is done in drivers/net/ethernet/renesas/sh_eth.c?

Or should I rather keep the .mii_ports bitmap in addition to the array
to indicate the indexes with valid values?
