Why does it mandate that?

See eg. powerpc where we use REG_OFFSET_NAME for the top-level named fields and
then a different macro for the array elements:

  #define REG_OFFSET_NAME(r) {.name = #r, .offset = offsetof(struct pt_regs, r)}
  #define GPR_OFFSET_NAME(num)  \
        {.name = STR(gpr##num), .offset = offsetof(struct pt_regs, gpr[num])}
  
  static const struct pt_regs_offset regoffset_table[] = {
        GPR_OFFSET_NAME(0),
        GPR_OFFSET_NAME(1),
        GPR_OFFSET_NAME(2),
        GPR_OFFSET_NAME(3),
        ...
        REG_OFFSET_NAME(nip),
        REG_OFFSET_NAME(msr),


So I don't see why REG_OFFSET_NAME couldn't be common.

cheers
