Please note that the 'id' here is an __u8[] array, not a const char *
and that the generated .o objects are equal pre/post the patch as both
methods just initialize the array to 0s. So I think the commit message
explains what the patch is doing, perhaps it might be worth mentioning
that the 'id' field is a byte array in the message.
