Subject: [PATCH net 5/5] ixgbe: fix ixgbe_orom_civd_info struct layout

From: Jedrzej Jagielski <jedrzej.jagielski@...el.com>

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")
