Is there a strong reason to drop this attribute? All ONFI related
structs are using it to make sure the layout is not changed by the
compiler, and be able to cast a buffer container the ONFI param page
content to one of the nand_onfi_xxx struct.

Yes, this is currently not needed (at least for this struct), but I'd
prefer to keep nand_onfi_xxx definitions consistent if you don't mind,
unless you see a good reason to avoid using this __packed attribute.
