Allright. I was thinking of that but thought that most of the
architectures using this PMIC would handle alignments fine if I used
only u8 members. I did consider using __attribute__((packed)) - but I'm
not sure if we hit into troubles with that too. I guess some people
would like to compile kernel with other compiler(s) but gcc - although
I'm not sure if this should be taken into account. I'll try doing some
study on this - unless someone replies to this and just tells how this
should be done. (I am pretty sure I can find the answer from mail
archives though). I'll try adding some packing hint for compiler at v3.

Allright. I'll fix this

Right. Much nicer, thanks! I'll change this.

Yep. Makes sense. I'll tidy this.

And I'll fix this too.
