6.6-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

commit 3d1c651272cf1df8aac7d9b6d92d836d27bed50f upstream.

Clang 19 prints a warning when we pass &th->guid to efi_pa_va_lookup():

drivers/acpi/prmt.c:156:29: error: passing 1-byte aligned argument to
4-byte aligned parameter 1 of 'efi_pa_va_lookup' may result in an
unaligned pointer access [-Werror,-Walign-mismatch]
  156 |                         (void *)efi_pa_va_lookup(&th->guid, handler_info->handler_address);
      |                                                  ^

The problem is that efi_pa_va_lookup() takes a efi_guid_t and &th->guid
is a regular guid_t.  The difference between the two types is the
alignment.  efi_guid_t is a typedef.

	typedef guid_t efi_guid_t __aligned(__alignof__(u32));

It's possible that this a bug in Clang 19.  Even though the alignment of
&th->guid is not explicitly specified, it will still end up being aligned
at 4 or 8 bytes.

Anyway, as Ard points out, it's cleaner to change guid to efi_guid_t type
and that also makes the warning go away.
