+Subject: rtlwifi: Align private space in rtl_priv struct
+
+The private array at the end of the rtl_priv struct is not aligned.
+On ARM architecture, this causes an alignment trap and is fixed by aligning
+that array with __align(sizeof(void *)). That should properly align that
+space according to the requirements of all architectures.
