clang emits a -Wunaligned-access warning on struct __packed
ems_cpc_msg.
The reason is that the anonymous union msg (not declared as packed) is
being packed right after some non naturally aligned variables (3*8
bits + 2*32) inside a packed struct:
| struct __packed ems_cpc_msg {
| u8 type; /* type of message */
| u8 length; /* length of data within union 'msg' */
| u8 msgid; /* confirmation handle */
| __le32 ts_sec; /* timestamp in seconds */
| __le32 ts_nsec; /* timestamp in nano seconds */
| /* ^ not naturally aligned */
|
| union {
| /* ^ not declared as packed */
| u8 generic[64];
| struct cpc_can_msg can_msg;
| struct cpc_can_params can_params;
| struct cpc_confirm confirmation;
| struct cpc_overrun overrun;
| struct cpc_can_error error;
| struct cpc_can_err_counter err_counter;
| u8 can_state;
| } msg;
| };
Starting from LLVM 14, having an unpacked struct nested in a packed
struct triggers a warning. c.f. [1].
Fix the warning by marking the anonymous union as packed.

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.
