wifi: ath10k: improve structure padding
Including an aligned structure inside of a packed one is ambiguous and can lead to misaligned data, as pointed out by this clang warning: drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath10k/htt.h:715:34: error: field prefix within 'struct htt_rx_indication' is less aligned than 'struct htt_rx_indication_prefix' and is usually due to 'struct htt_rx_indication' being packed, which can lead to unaligned accesses [-Werror,-Wunaligned-access] struct htt_rx_indication_prefix prefix; ^ drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath10k/htt.h:736:34: error: field prefix within 'struct htt_rx_indication_hl' is less aligned than 'struct htt_rx_indication_prefix' and is usually due to 'struct htt_rx_indication_hl' being packed, which can lead to unaligned accesses [-Werror,-Wunaligned-access] struct htt_rx_indication_prefix prefix; ^ drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath10k/htt.h:1564:2: error: field within 'struct htt_tx_fetch_ind' is less aligned than 'union htt_tx_fetch_ind::(anonymous at drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath10k/htt.h:1564:2)' and is usually due to 'struct htt_tx_fetch_ind' being packed, which can lead to unaligned accesses [-Werror,-Wunaligned-access] union { ^ drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath10k/htt.h:1702:2: error: field within 'struct htt_resp' is less aligned than 'union htt_resp::(anonymous at drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath10k/htt.h:1702:2)' and is usually due to 'struct htt_resp' being packed, which can lead to unaligned accesses [-Werror,-Wunaligned-access] These structures appear to actually need the packing since they are embedded at misaligned offsets. Add even more such annotations here to enforce bytewise access throughout the driver.
