I was fine already with the previous behavior that unconditionally
sets require-final-newline in C modes. But I don't mind that for the
likes of you a customization variable c-require-final-newline has been
added.
I don't particularly like the idea that every mode that has particular
requirements for a variable like that has to have a separately named
variable of its own: this makes it more difficult to figure out what
happens. I think that in the long run something more transparent for
mode-specific defaults should be found. But at the moment, I don't
have a good idea for that.
Maybe it would be possible to have something like
See also c-require-final-newline
in the displayed documentation for require-final-newline
automatically, by having the loading of c-require-final-newline place
an appropriate property on require-final-newline that is then
interpreted by the documentation printer.
