Sounds like a fair deal. :-)

I have no preferences. If soc/fsl/ is the way to go, fine by me.

Initializing a scalar with {} is allowed in C, the braces are optional.
I like the braces because it works even when the underlaying type changes.
But that's just a matter of taste.

key_phys is initialized because it triggered a false positive gcc warning
on one of my targets. Let me re-run again to be sure, the code saw a lot of
refactoring since that.

What is the benefit?
Usually I try to use goto to have a single exit point of a function
but I don't have a strong preference...

You mean acts->key_len and actk->refkey?
Is this a problem?
