If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Larry Finger commit 60ce314d1750fef843e9db70050e09e49f838b69 upstream. The private array at the end of the rtl_priv struct is not aligned. On ARM architecture, this causes an alignment trap and is fixed by aligning that array with __align(sizeof(void *)). That should properly align that space according to the requirements of all architectures. Reported-by: Jason Andrews Tested-by: Jason Andrews Signed-off-by: Larry Finger Signed-off-by: John W.
