Subject: [PATCH 5.4 093/155] rtlwifi: rtl8188ee: Fix regression due to commit d1d1a96bdb44

From: Larry Finger <Larry.Finger@...inger.net>

commit c80b18cbb04b7b101af9bd14550f13d9866c646a upstream.

For some unexplained reason, commit d1d1a96bdb44 ("rtlwifi: rtl8188ee:
Remove local configuration variable") broke at least one system. As
the only net effect of the change was to remove 2 bytes from the start
of struct phy_status_rpt, this patch adds 2 bytes of padding at the
beginning of the struct.

Fixes: d1d1a96bdb44 ("rtlwifi: rtl8188ee: Remove local configuration variable")
Cc: Stable <stable@...r.kernel.org>  # V5.4+
