Hi Vasileois.

I missed a purely semantic issue in previous versions :( 

A few other places where you can achieve the same effect with less code
and clear casting to correct types.

I suppose there is a consistency argument for using memcpy even for the s32
cases but you 'could' if you like do
	s32 *chans = (s32 *)data->buffer.buf;
at top
and 
	chans[0] = comp_press;
	chans[1] = comp_temp;
here, which is functionally equivalent, particularly as we are forcing the
buffer alignment to be larger than this s32.

Similar for the other simple native endian s32 cases.

The memcpy is needed for the le24 one.

I'd missed that this depends on the number of channels.  It makes no functional
difference because the core code will happily write over the end of buf, but
from a representation point of view this might be

		u8 buf[8];
		aligned_s64 ts;
or
		u8 buf[12];
		aligned_s64 ts;

So given we can't actually fix on one or the other normal convention is
to just use something that forces a large enough aligned u8 buffer like
		u8 buf[ALIGN(sizeof(s32) * BMP280_MAX_CHANNELS, 8) + sizeof(s64)]
			__aligned(sizeof(s64));

Sorry for leading you astray on this!
