commit 883f61653069 ("iio: buffer: align the size of scan bytes to size of the largest element") Previous versions of `iio_compute_scan_bytes` only aligned each element to its own length (i.e. its own natural alignment). Because multiple consecutive sets of scan elements are buffered this does not work in case the computed scan bytes do not align with the natural alignment of the first scan element in the set. This commit fixes this by aligning the scan bytes to the natural alignment of the largest scan element in the set. Fixes: 959d2952d124 ("staging:iio: make iio_sw_buffer_preenable much more general.")
