Subject: [PATCH] iio: buffer: align the size of scan bytes to size of the
 largest element
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Previous versions of `iio_compute_scan_bytes` only aligned each element
to its own length (i.e. its own natural alignment). Because multiple
consecutive sets of scan elements are buffered this does not work in
case the computed scan bytes do not align with the natural alignment of
the first scan element in the set.

This commit fixes this by aligning the scan bytes to the natural
alignment of the largest scan element in the set.
