[ Upstream commit 1a6dd9996699889313327be03981716a8337656b ]
clang emits a -Wunaligned-access warning on union
mcp251xfd_tx_ojb_load_buf.
The reason is that field hw_tx_obj (not declared as packed) is being
packed right after a 16 bits field inside a packed struct:
| union mcp251xfd_tx_obj_load_buf {
| struct __packed {
| struct mcp251xfd_buf_cmd cmd;
| /* ^ 16 bits fields */
| struct mcp251xfd_hw_tx_obj_raw hw_tx_obj;
| /* ^ not declared as packed */
| } nocrc;
| struct __packed {
| struct mcp251xfd_buf_cmd_crc cmd;
| struct mcp251xfd_hw_tx_obj_raw hw_tx_obj;
| __be16 crc;
| } crc;
| } ____cacheline_aligned;
Starting from LLVM 14, having an unpacked struct nested in a packed
struct triggers a warning. c.f. [1].
This is a false positive because the field is always being accessed
with the relevant put_unaligned_*() function. Adding __packed to the
structure declaration silences the warning.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
