I don't think this union has to be packed.
And most likely struct b43_ppr_rates is ok without packing, too.
You could probably remove it there and add a BUILD_BUG which checks something like (pseudocode):
BUILD_BUG_ON(offsetof(struct b43_ppr_rates.mcs_20_sdm) != B43_PPR_CCK_RATES_NUM + B43_PPR_OFDM_RATES_NUM * 2 + B43_PPR_MCS_RATES_NUM * 3);

Removing packed will produce much nicer code.
