> One of a class of bugs pointed out by Lars in a recent review.
> iio_push_to_buffers_with_timestamp assumes the buffer used is aligned
> to the size of the timestamp (8 bytes).  This is not guaranteed in
> this driver which uses an array of smaller elements on the stack.
> As Lars also noted this anti pattern can involve a leak of data to
> userspace and that indeed can happen here.  We close both issues by
> moving to a suitable structure in the iio_priv()
> 
> This data is allocated with kzalloc so no data can leak apart
> from previous readings.
