One of a class of bugs pointed out by Lars in a recent review.
iio_push_to_buffers_with_timestamp assumes the buffer used is aligned
to the size of the timestamp (8 bytes). This is not guaranteed in
this driver which uses a 16 byte u8 array on the stack. As Lars also noted
this anti pattern can involve a leak of data to userspace and that
indeed can happen here. We close both issues by moving to
a suitable structure in the iio_priv() data with alignment
ensured by use of an explicit c structure. This data is allocated
with kzalloc so no data can leak appart from previous readings.

I feel we should have a macro for this.
DECLARE_IIO_BUFFER_WITH_TIMESTAMP(buffer, __be16, 3);
The name is maybe a bit too long.
And potentially also DECLARE_IIO_BUFFER_WITH_TIMESTAMP_ON_STACK() which
initializes it to zero.
