Subject: [PATCH][next] ALSA: 6fire: Fix undefined behavior bug in struct
 comm_runtime

`struct urb` is a flexible structure, which means that it contains a
flexible-array member at the bottom. This could potentially lead to an
overwrite of the objects following `receiver` in `struct comm_runtime`,
among them some function pointers.

Fix this by placing the declaration of object `receiver` at the end of
`struct comm_runtime`.
