Please remove all of the __packed attributes. I looked at your data structures and all of them use fixed sized types and are multiples of 4 so the __packed attribute is completely unnecessary. The alignment attribute is also unnecessary so please remove that too.
Some of the fields are u8, so I assume there might be holes added by the compiler ? Also these attributes guarantee some ABI compatibility with FW side, I will try to remove them and check but it sounds for me a bit risky.
