    ixgbe: fix unaligned access in ixgbe_update_flash_X550()
    
    ixgbe_host_interface_command() treats its buffer as a u32 array.  The
    local union contained only byte-sized fields, giving it one-byte stack
    alignment and allowing unaligned accesses on strict-align systems.
    
    Add a u32 member to the union to provide the required alignment and
    pass that member to ixgbe_host_interface_command().
    
    No functional change is expected on x86.
