[PATCH] iio: proximity: isl29501: use scan struct instead of array

[David Lechner]

Replace the scan buffer array with a struct that contains a single u32
for the data and an aligned_s64 for the timestamp. This makes it easier
to see the intended layout of the buffer and avoids the need to manually
calculate the number of extra elements needed for an aligned timestamp.

Same Q, why not macro?

Why are we using a u32 here?  It's a 16 bit
read in that isl29501_register_read() call
and storagebits = 16 in the chan spec.

So to me looks like you found a bug for big endian platforms.

Maybe not - it looks like there is a read on one place and write in another.
Both are passed the same address.
The interface looks very strange though.

But the updated code is writing uninitialised stack.
