I totally agree. Its a big one!!! but I'm concerned of breaking bisectibility:
* I could for example separate all the removes into separate commits and
then have a final commit that removes the check for the empty element.
But this will leave the tree in a state where the for loop will have
undefined behavior when it looks for the empty end element. It might
or might not work (probably not :) until the final commit where I fix
that.
* I could also change the logic that looks for the final element,
commit that first and then remove the empty element one commit per
driver after that. But then for all the arrays that still have an
empty element, there would again be undefined behavior as it would
think that the last element is valid (when it is really the sentinel).
Any ideas on how to get around these?

Agreed. But I actually was trying to fix something that checkpatch
flagged. I'll change these back (which will cause this patch to be
flagged).
An alternative solution would be to fix the indentation as part of the
preparation patches. Tell me what you think.
