OK

OK, I will use "struct" in v2.

+       struct {
        u32                             sync_count;
+       u32                             padding;

OK, thanks

OK, I will try to describe it more clearly.

These indent is inherited, to keep aligning with other members.

There is no endian issue, I have tested it on both little-endian and big-endian.

$gdb vmlinux
......
(gdb) p &((struct arm_smmu_device *)0)->sync_count
$1 = (u32 *) 0x4178
(gdb) p &((struct arm_smmu_device *)0)->tst1
$2 = (int *) 0x4170
(gdb) p &((struct arm_smmu_device *)0)->tst2
$3 = (int *) 0x4180
