I would prefer your v1.

Reasons:
1. The change is not just kernel related.
There is a EC (embedded controller) firmware to collaborate with the
code.  The firmware doesn't know the kernel only copies the first byte
of the packet (at least for now).  See
https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromiumos/platform/ec/+/refs/heads/master/common/audio_codec_i2s_rx.c#120.

2. We don't copy partial packets in a EC host command.
IMHO, it is also not a big deal if copying a few unused bytes in the packet.
