Match alignment information in composite type declarations used by packed HOSTCMD report structures. Compiler packing attribute is not recursive for inner declarations. Mismatched alignment information can cause undefined behavior in code generated for accessing composite type members. struct pointers passed to thunderstrike_parse_board_info_payload and thunderstrike_parse_haptics_payload are an example of this being potentially problematic since alignment information from the packed HOSTCMD report is lost.

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.
