solo6x10: use designated initializers

  Prepare to mark sensitive kernel structures for randomization by making
sure they're using designated initializers. These were identified during
allyesconfig builds of x86, arm, and arm64, with most initializer fixes
extracted from grsecurity.

Ok I've reviewed all the patchset, googled a bit and now I see what's
going on.

I'm not that keen on syntax subtleties, but...
 * Empty initializer is not quite "designated" as I can judge.
 * From brief googling I see that empty initializer is not valid in
   some C standards.

Since `ops` is static, what about this?
For the variant given below, you have my signoff.

Ah! Yes, thanks. That works fine too. :) Can this be const as well?

No, it can't be const, it's used as parameter for snd_device_new() which
takes "struct snd_device_ops *".
