Is this on purpose? Is this safe?
Hi Rafał,
This is indeed on purpose as this structure is aligned (no gaps)
properly because the members are all u16 and not going over the host
bus. However, it is used in a union with the little-endian version which
is packed. Based on feedback regarding that union this patch needs some
rework so it will be resend.
