In the arm random config file, kconfig option 'CONFIG_AEABI' is
disabled which results in adding the compiler flag '-mabi=apcs-gnu'.
This causes the compiler to add padding in virtchnl2_ptype
structure to align it to 8 bytes, resulting in the following
size check failure:

include/linux/build_bug.h:78:41: error: static assertion failed: "(6) == 
sizeof(struct virtchnl2_ptype)"
      78 | #define __static_assert(expr, msg, ...) _Static_assert(expr, msg)

         | ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Avoid the compiler padding by using "__packed" structure
attribute for the virtchnl2_ptype struct. Also align the
structure by using "__aligned(2)" for better code optimization.
While at it, swap the static_assert conditional statement
variables.

v4:
 - swap the static_assert conditional statement variables

v3:
 - add "__aligned(2)" structure attribute for better code optimization

v2:
 - add the kconfig option causing the compile failure to the commit message
