The initializer of 'ns16550_com' violates MISRA C Rule 9.3
because it explicitly initializes only the first element of the array,
but the semantics is the same if the explicit initialization is
omitted.

No functional change.

In the context of the rule ("Arrays shall not be partially initialized"),
the initialization shall either be fully explicit or implicit.

With the variable even being static, ...

... what use is the initializer in the first place?

I understood it as a visual cue that the array was initialized, as it 
was before. I don't have a specific preference one way or another, but I 
see this has already been committed.
