Size of the virtchnl2_rss_key struct should be 7 bytes but the
compiler introduces a padding byte for the structure alignment.
This results in idpf sending an additional byte of memory to the device
control plane than the expected buffer size. As the control plane
enforces virtchnl message size checks to validate the message,
set RSS key message fails resulting in the driver load failure.
Remove implicit compiler padding by using "__packed" structure
attribute for the virtchnl2_rss_key struct.
Also there is no need to use __DECLARE_FLEX_ARRAY macro for the
'key_flex' struct field. So drop it.

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.
