I forgot if we discussed this along with i2c_client *client nearby. Since I
reviewed Hans' patches the pure struct device *dev (instead of *client) might
make more sense, despite being duplicative with regmap associated device.

  	u32			num_data_lanes;
+	bool			non_cont_clk;
struct gpio_chip gpio_chip;

And also try to place this as a first member and see (by using bloat-o-meter,
for example) if it saves bytes.

I'm wondering if we have tools like pahole but which suggests the better layout
based on the code generation... Maybe something along with clang?

Isn't all this a bit on the side of pointless micro-optimizations? We're talking about possibly saving a few tens of bytes in a struct that's likely allocated a few times, by possibly messing up the (cosmetic) grouping and ordering of the fields in the struct?

If there's a common rule-of-thumb wrt. struct members that everyone should follow, I'm good with that and can change this accordingly. But just trying to hunt for a field order that happens to save a few bytes here... It doesn't sound like time well spent.

If things were perfect, this would be something the compiler would optimize, presuming the field ordering in the struct doesn't matter.
