Just done so, thanks. But I think it's very surprising API to expect a void *
to have a specific alignment. Should this perhaps be encoded into
the function signature? e.g.

typedef void __aligned_u64_void __aligned(8);
static inline int iio_push_to_buffers_with_timestamp(struct iio_dev *indio_dev,
        __aligned_u64_void *data, int64_t timestamp);

[I assume put_unaligned_* isn't used for performance reasons?)

Cheers,
Ahmad
