struct hclge_dbg_reg_type_info which is 28 bytes long due to the
included struct struct hclge_dbg_reg_common_msg (which is 12 bytes
long). They are surrounded by #pragma pack(1)/pack().

This forces the 2 pointers in each second array element of
hclge_dbg_reg_info[] to be 4 byte aligned (where pointers are 8 bytes
long on PPC64).
