Remove __attribute__ ((packed)) to prevent byte access to soc
registers in some gcc versions.

Having patches to enable ehci for the BeagleBoard lying around for
several month, this one was the show-stopper.

Credits have to go to Laine Walker-Avina <lwalkera@ieee.org> for
finding the problem.

Can you PLEASE start playing by the rules?

This applies to you as well:

Why do you repost this stuff without any comments, versioning or
changelog?

Best regards,

Because someone broke the TWL4030-RTC in 2.6.38 and those 4 message got 
send with a date from 2000.
That means those will never seen in the archives (for 2009), and not by 
people which are sorting their mailboxes by date.

So I thought it is good idea to resend that.

Please reread: "... without any comments, versioning or changelog?"

I promise to not send any patches anymore.

Before I'm killing someones 64bit+ machine with that patch:

The hint I've received was to use

+} __attribute__ ((packed, aligned(4)));

That works too. I haven't seen the original commit (I've only got told 
that credits have to go to Laine Walker-Avina), I don't know if the 
standard says something to that, I don't know if some 64bit+ SoC might 
choose to align that stuff otherwise and I will not send a v2 of that patch.

Regards,

Alexander
