3.2.52-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------ From: Larry Finger <[email protected]> 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.
