Subject: [PATCH 5.9 275/391] iio:adc:ti-adc0832 Fix alignment issue with timestamp

From: Jonathan Cameron <Jonathan.Cameron@...wei.com>

commit 39e91f3be4cba51c1560bcda3a343ed1f64dc916 upstream.

One of a class of bugs pointed out by Lars in a recent review.
iio_push_to_buffers_with_timestamp assumes the buffer used is aligned
to the size of the timestamp (8 bytes).  This is not guaranteed in
this driver which uses an array of smaller elements on the stack.

We fix this issues by moving to a suitable structure in the iio_priv()
data with alignment explicitly requested.  This data is allocated
with kzalloc so no data can leak apart from previous readings.
Note that previously no data could leak 'including' previous readings
but I don't think it is an issue to potentially leak them like
this now does.

In this case the postioning of the timestamp is depends on what
other channels are enabled. As such we cannot use a structure to
make the alignment explicit as it would be missleading by suggesting
only one possible location for the timestamp.
