"chinfo" is initialized immediately above here, which means that it is
actually already zero filled for all the members that aren't explicitly
initialized, so the _pad variant isn't needed. I suspect Dead Store
Elimination will optimize it all away anyway, so this is probably fine.

Yup, sizeof() replacement looks correct:
struct rpmsg_channel_info {
char name[RPMSG_NAME_SIZE];
