This changelog is kind of messed up. This is how it looks in context: https://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=157731837511760&w=2 The subject and the commit message are far apart. What's wrong with iterating over a NULL terminated array? The changelog doesn't say which variable is NULL.

This line seems like an unrelated change. I'm still not sure the justification for this. I really hate puzzling over patches to try figure out why a patch is making changes.
