commit a4cb6e62ea4d36e53fb3c0f18ea4503d7b76674f upstream.

clang emits a -Wunaligned-access warning on struct __packed
ems_cpc_msg.

The reason is that the anonymous union msg (not declared as packed) is
being packed right after some non naturally aligned variables (3*8
bits + 2*32) inside a packed struct:

| struct __packed ems_cpc_msg {
| u8 type; /* type of message */
| u8 length; /* length of data within union 'msg' */
| u8 msgid; /* confirmation handle */
| __le32 ts_sec; /* timestamp in seconds */
| __le32 ts_nsec; /* timestamp in nano seconds */
| /* ^ not naturally aligned */
|
| union {
| /* ^ not declared as packed */
| u8 generic[64];
| struct cpc_can_msg can_msg;
| struct cpc_can_params can_params;
| struct cpc_confirm confirmation;
| struct cpc_overrun overrun;
| struct cpc_can_error error;
| struct cpc_can_err_counter err_counter;
| u8 can_state;
| } msg;
| };

Starting from LLVM 14, having an unpacked struct nested in a packed
struct triggers a warning. c.f. [1].

Fix the warning by marking the anonymous union as packed.
