From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@xxxxxxxx> clang warns about an unpacked structure inside of a packed one: drivers/net/wireless/broadcom/b43/b43.h:654:4: error: field data within 'struct b43_iv' is less aligned than 'union (unnamed union at /home/arnd/arm-soc/drivers/net/wireless/broadcom/b43/b43.h:651:2)' and is usually due to 'struct b43_iv' being packed, which can lead to unaligned accesses [-Werror,-Wunaligned-access] The problem here is that the anonymous union has the default alignment from its members, apparently because the original author mixed up the placement of the __packed attribute by placing it next to the struct member rather than the union definition. As the struct itself is also marked as __packed, there is no need to mark its members, so just move the annotation to the inner type instead.
