Shashank pointed out to me in private that byte access would indeed be
safe. However, after actually trying it it won't work because memcpy()
doesn't play nice with mqd being volatile:

/home/hannes/src/linux/linux/drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/amdgpu_ring.c: In function 'amdgpu_debugfs_mqd_read':
/home/hannes/src/linux/linux/drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/amdgpu_ring.c:550:22: warning: passing argument 1 of '__builtin_dynamic_object_size' discards 'volatil' qualifier from pointer target type [-Wdiscarded-qualifiers]
  550 |         memcpy(kbuf, mqd, ring->mqd_size);

So I would propose leaving the patch as-is. Shashank, does that sound
good to you?

(Please keep me CC'd on replies, as I'm not subscribed to the graphics
lists.)

Thanks!
