As far as gcc is concerned it can go almost anywhere before the '=',
even before the 'static'.
Splitting 'struct cpm_pin' does seem an odd choice.

The Linux coding standards might suggest a location.
I'd have thought that either before or after the 'static' would be best
(ie as a storage class qualifier).
