Indeed and that should have definitely been a warning sign ;)
We are looking at traditional platform data here (pre device
tree) and generally we will want to drop it entirely for old
drivers that we are looking to move out of staging.

I don't mind improving it prior to dropping (as it avoids
setting bad precedence in the code base in the meantime) but
one comment inline...

Please don't use packed for anything without a very very good reason.
it may result in data layouts that are much harder to read from.
That obviously doesn't matter here as I doubt it's read in a fast path.
