The commit 886275ce41a9751117367fb387ed171049eb6148 (param: lock if_sdio's lbs_helper_name and lbs_fw_name against sysfs changes) introduced new fields into the if_sdio_card structure. It caused missalignment of the if_sdio_card.buffer field and failure at driver load time: ~# modprobe libertas_sdio [ 62.315124] libertas_sdio: Libertas SDIO driver [ 62.319976] libertas_sdio: Copyright Pierre Ossman [ 63.020629] DMA misaligned error with device 48 [ 63.025207] mmci-omap-hs mmci-omap-hs.1: unexpected dma status 800 [ 66.005035] libertas: command 0x0003 timed out [ 66.009826] libertas: Timeout submitting command 0x0003 [ 66.016296] libertas: PREP_CMD: command 0x0003 failed: -110 Adding explicit alignment attribute for the if_sdio_card.buffer field fixes this problem.
