clang emits a -Wunaligned-access warning on union
mcp251xfd_tx_ojb_load_buf.
The reason is that field hw_tx_obj (not declared as packed) is being
packed right after a 16 bits field inside a packed struct:
| union mcp251xfd_tx_obj_load_buf {
| struct __packed {
| struct mcp251xfd_buf_cmd cmd;
| /* ^ 16 bits fields */
| struct mcp251xfd_hw_tx_obj_raw hw_tx_obj;
| /* ^ not declared as packed */
| } nocrc;
| struct __packed {
| struct mcp251xfd_buf_cmd_crc cmd;
| struct mcp251xfd_hw_tx_obj_raw hw_tx_obj;
| __be16 crc;
| } crc;
| } ____cacheline_aligned;
Starting from LLVM 14, having an unpacked struct nested in a packed
struct triggers a warning. c.f. [1].
This is a false positive because the field is always being accessed
with the relevant put_unaligned_*() function. Adding __packed to the
structure declaration silences the warning.
