Subject: [PATCH iwl-net v1] ixgbe: fix ixgbe_orom_civd_info struct layout

The current layout of struct ixgbe_orom_civd_info causes incorrect data
storage due to compiler-inserted padding. This results in issues when
writing OROM data into the structure.

Add the __packed attribute to ensure the structure layout matches the
expected binary format without padding.

Fixes: 70db0788a262 ("ixgbe: read the OROM version information")
