[PATCH 5.10 529/593] iio: light: vcnl4035: Fix buffer alignment in iio_push_to_buffers_with_timestamp()

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
Date: 2021-07-12 07:12:37
Also in: lkml
Subsystem: iio subsystem and drivers, the rest · Maintainers: Jonathan Cameron, Linus Torvalds

From: Jonathan Cameron <Jonathan.Cameron@huawei.com>

[ Upstream commit ec90b52c07c0403a6db60d752484ec08d605ead0 ]

Add __aligned(8) to ensure the buffer passed to
iio_push_to_buffers_with_timestamp() is suitable for the naturally
aligned timestamp that will be inserted.

Here an explicit structure is not used, because the holes would
necessitate the addition of an explict memset(), to avoid a potential
kernel data leak, making for a less minimal fix.
