sfc: use padding to fix alignment in loopback test
Add two bytes of padding to the start of struct efx_loopback_payload, which are not sent on the wire. This ensures the 'ip' member is 4-byte aligned, preventing the following W=1 warning: net/ethernet/sfc/selftest.c:46:15: error: field ip within 'struct efx_loopback_payload' is less aligned than 'struct iphdr' and is usually due to 'struct efx_loopback_payload' being packed, which can lead to unaligned accesses [-Werror,-Wunaligned-access] struct iphdr ip; Reported-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de> Signed-off-by: Edward Cree <ecree.xilinx@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
