Subject: [PATCH] wlcore: align reg_ch_conf_last[] to 64bit

Align fields reg_ch_conf_last and reg_ch_conf_pending of
struct wl1271{} to 64bit.

Without this, on 64bit ARM, wlcore_set_pending_regdomain_ch() fails at
the point it calls set_bit(ch_bit_idx, (long*)wl->reg_ch_conf_pending);
Here is the error message while doing iw wlan0 scan or connect:
