😳😳
What's the offending structure in hisilicon? I'd rather have a look
packing structs with pointers in 'em sounds questionable.
I only see these two:
$ git grep packed drivers/net/ethernet/hisilicon/
drivers/net/ethernet/hisilicon/hns/hnae.h:struct __packed hnae_desc {
drivers/net/ethernet/hisilicon/hns3/hns3_enet.h:struct __packed hns3_desc {
