There are 2 drivers that have arrays of packed structures that contain
pointers that end up at unaligned offsets.  These produce warnings in
the PowerPC allyesconfig build like this:

WARNING: 148 bad relocations
c00000000e56510b R_PPC64_UADDR64   .rodata+0x0000000001c72378
c00000000e565126 R_PPC64_UADDR64   .rodata+0x0000000001c723c0

They are not drivers that are used on PowerPC (I assume), so mark them
to not be built on PPC64 when CONFIG_RELOCATABLE is enabled.

It might be easiest to put this through the PowerPC (fixes?) tree, if
people woulf just sned ACKs, please?

struct hclge_dbg_reg_type_info which is 28 bytes long due to the
included struct struct hclge_dbg_reg_common_msg (which is 12 bytes
long).  They are surrounded by #pragma pack(1)/pack().

This forces the 2 pointers in each second array element of
hclge_dbg_reg_info[] to be 4 byte aligned (where pointers are 8 bytes
long on PPC64).

Ah! Thanks, I don't see a reason for these to be packed. 
Looks  like an accident, there is no reason to pack anything 
past struct hclge_dbg_reg_common_msg AFAICT.

Huawei folks, would you mind sending a fix if the analysis is correct?

Yes, will send a patch to fix that. Thanks for the analysis.

I prefer to fix this in the driver instead.  The space saving by packing the
structure is minimal.
I've sent a patch

No worries, it has been a small irritant to me for quite a while.

Absolutely, thanks.
