AngeloGioacchino Del Regno 4b8d0fa094 media: platform: mtk-mdp: Fix mdp_ipi_comm structure alignment 
[ Upstream commit ab14c99c03 ]

The mdp_ipi_comm structure defines a command that is either
PROCESS (start processing) or DEINIT (destroy instance); we
are using this one to send PROCESS or DEINIT commands from Linux
to an MDP instance through a VPU write but, while the first wants
us to stay 4-bytes aligned, the VPU instead requires an 8-bytes
data alignment.

Keeping in mind that these commands are executed immediately
after sending them (hence not chained with others before the
VPU/MDP "actually" start executing), it is fine to simply add
a padding of 4 bytes to this structure: this keeps the same
performance as before, as we're still stack-allocating it,
while avoiding hackery inside of mtk-vpu to ensure alignment
bringing a definitely bigger performance impact.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
