Subject: devres: Align data[] to ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN
X-Git-Url: http://git.cdn.openwrt.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=a66d972465d15b1d89281258805eb8b47d66bd36;p=openwrt%2Fstaging%2Fblogic.git

devres: Align data[] to ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN

Initially we bumped into problem with 32-bit aligned atomic64_t
on ARC, see [1]. And then during quite lengthly discussion Peter Z.
mentioned ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN which IMHO makes perfect sense.
If allocation is done by plain kmalloc() obtained buffer will be
ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN aligned and then why buffer obtained via
devm_kmalloc() should have any other alignment?

This way we at least get the same behavior for both types of
allocation.
