From acf31bf88597033760c26da58c328872f46d65cc Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Yann E. MORIN\"" Date: Fri, 4 Nov 2011 19:22:29 +0100 Subject: kernel/linux: fix packed attribute in exported headers UBI headers (and maybe others as well) are broken because the 'packed' attribute is not sanitised when the headers are exported to userspace. Apply the fix from upstream: https://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git;a=commitdiff;h=f210735fe2f17a6225432ee3d1239bcf23a8659c (Also, buildroot does the same, BTW) Signed-off-by: "Yann E.
