Looks like forced word (32 bit) alignment to me.
I wonder how many other structures that messes up, but I committed the
EDID fix for now.
This has presumably been broken for a long time, but maybe the
affected targets don't typically use EDID and kernel modesetting, and
only use some fixed display setup instead.
Those structure definitions go back a _loong_ time (from a quick 'git
blame' I see November 2008).
But despite that, I did not mark my fix 'cc:stable' because I don't
know if any of those machines affected by this bad arm ABI issue could
possibly care.
At least my tree hopefully now builds on them, with the BUILD_BUG_ON()
that uncovered this.
