In reality the 'pad' fields ought to be renamed - since they aren't pads.
Perhaps they should be a union?

No. At the end of the descriptor, host software can add scratchpad which is
not modified by the hardware, but is used by the driver. So please don't
rename.

So comment in the definition that the hardware doesn't modify them.
The driver is defining these fields and they are definitely NOT padding.
