In the current kernel, devio.c generates a number of compiler warnings about taking the address of a member of a packed structure. The warnings all look like this one: drivers/usb/core/devio.c: In function ‘proc_do_submiturb’: drivers/usb/core/devio.c:1489:43: warning: taking address of packed member of ‘struct usb_ctrlrequest’ may result in an unaligned pointer value [-Waddress-of-packed-member] 1489 | if (uurb->buffer_length < (le16_to_cpup(&dr->wLength) + 8)) { | ^~~~~~~~~~~~ These warnings can easily be eliminated by changing various le16_to_cpup() calls to use le16_to_cpu() instead.
