While being less compact, using named initializers allows to more easily
see which members of the structs are assigned which value without having
to lookup the declaration of the struct. And it's also more robust
against changes to the struct definition.
This patch doesn't modify the compiled array, only its representation in
source form benefits. The former was confirmed with x86 and arm64
builds.

Hello,
this patch is part of a bigger quest to use named initializers for
mainly struct i2c_device_id::driver_data to be able to modify
i2c_device_id. See e.g.
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260518111203.639603-2-u.kleine-koenig@baylibre.com/
for the details.
This patch here isn't critical for this quest, as this driver doesn't
make use of .driver_data, so apart from the better readability this is
only about consistency with other subsystems.
This is the only i2c driver under drivers/hid, so this is the only patch
needed to adapt the whole subsystem to the new style for initializing
i2c_device_id arrays.
Best regards
Uwe
