I think the subject should state *what* it does, rather than /why/.
To fix a compilation warning (or error as we use -Werror) is the reason
why we fix it :)
How about:
libcamera: event_dispatcher_poll: Remove struct keyword from for-range
I'd like to make that 'remove redundant struct keyword' but I've run out
of title space :D

Using the following code sample, I have tested a range of compilers
using godbolt.org:
#include <vector>
#include <poll.h>
void processNotifiers(const std::vector<struct pollfd> &pollfds) {
for (const struct pollfd &pfd : pollfds) {
}
}
So actually I have misinterpreted the issue. I thought it was a newly
introduced compiler warning. In fact, old compilers fail - while newer
compilers accept our current syntax.
Godbolt shows that this failure occurs at the following versions:
v4.9.3 fails
v4.9.4 fails
v5.1 fails
v5.2 fails
v5.3 fails
v5.4 fails
v5.5 fails
v6.2 fails
v6.3 fails
v6.4 supported
(and so are the versions following)
The code sample can be explored at this godbolt short-link:

Thanks, I've updated the commit message a fair bit so I'll send a v2 anyway.
