Subject: [PATCH] USB: ehci: use packed, aligned(4) instead of removing the packed attribute
Date: Thu, 16 Jun 2011 18:17:10 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1308241030-15201-1-git-send-email-holler@ahsoftware.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1303918648-7196-1-git-send-email-rabin@rab.in>
In commit 139540170d9d9b7ead3caaf540f161756b356d56 the attribute
packed is removed from the structs which are used to access the EHCI-registers.
This is done to circumvent a problem with gcc 4.6, which might access members of
packed structs on a byte by byte basis. But using packed, aligned(4) fixes that
too and is imho the better solution. Otherwise (without packed) the compiler would be free
to choose whatever alignment he thinks fits best, which might be e.g. 8-byte on 64-bit machines.
