[PATCH net 5/5] ixgbe: fix ixgbe_orom_civd_info struct layout

From: Tony Nguyen <anthony.l.nguyen@intel.com>
Date: 2025-08-25 21:50:28
Subsystem: intel ethernet drivers, networking drivers, the rest · Maintainers: Tony Nguyen, Przemek Kitszel, Andrew Lunn, "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, Linus Torvalds

From: Jedrzej Jagielski <redacted>

The current layout of struct ixgbe_orom_civd_info causes incorrect data
storage due to compiler-inserted padding. This results in issues when
writing OROM data into the structure.

Add the __packed attribute to ensure the structure layout matches the
expected binary format without padding.

Fixes: 70db0788a262 ("ixgbe: read the OROM version information")
