all above have 32bits. It means on 64bit cpu you have 32bit gap here.

It means this should be like this and then there is no gap between on 
32bit/64bit systems.

struct xspi_platform_data {
	struct spi_board_info *    devices;              /*     0     8 */
	bool                       force_irq;            /*     8     1 */
	u8                         num_chipselect;       /*     9     1 */
	u8                         bits_per_word;        /*    10     1 */
	u8                         num_devices;          /*    11     1 */

	/* size: 16, cachelines: 1, members: 5 */
	/* padding: 4 */
	/* last cacheline: 16 bytes */
};
