Based on pahole, 2 holes can be combined in 'struct regulator_bulk_data'.

On x86_64 and allmodconfig, this shrinks the size of the structure from 32
to 24 bytes.

This is usually a win, because this structure is often used for static
global variables.

As an example:
Before:
   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
   3557	    162	      0	   3719	    e87	drivers/gpu/drm/msm/dsi/dsi_cfg.o

After:
   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
   3477	    162	      0	   3639	    e37	drivers/gpu/drm/msm/dsi/dsi_cfg.o

Before:
======
struct regulator_bulk_data {
	const char  *              supply;               /*     0     8 */
	int                        init_load_uA;         /*     8     4 */

	/* XXX 4 bytes hole, try to pack */

	struct regulator *         consumer;             /*    16     8 */
	int                        ret;                  /*    24     4 */

	/* size: 32, cachelines: 1, members: 4 */
	/* sum members: 24, holes: 1, sum holes: 4 */
	/* padding: 4 */
	/* last cacheline: 32 bytes */
};

After:
=====
struct regulator_bulk_data {
	const char  *              supply;               /*     0     8 */
	struct regulator *         consumer;             /*     8     8 */
	int                        init_load_uA;         /*    16     4 */
	int                        ret;                  /*    20     4 */

	/* size: 24, cachelines: 1, members: 4 */
	/* last cacheline: 24 bytes */
};
