This is a zero-length array, its entries are not pointers but flattened
lookup entries. Thus you cannot simply null-terminate it. It would be
possible to use { NULL } as a terminator, but this would expand into a
whole gpiod_lookup and is not very pleasant esthetically-speaking. So I
think the size member is maybe better suited here.
