As it was reported and discussed here [1], storing the sensor data in an
endian aware s32 buffer is not optimal. Advertising the timestamp as an
addition of 2 s32 variables which is also implied is again not the best
practice. For that reason, change the s32 sensor_data buffer to a char
buffer with an extra value for the timestamp (as it is common practice).

Hi Jonathan,

I noticed that this patch didn't receive any comments nor applied.
Was this intentional because we wait for something from mainline to
be merged back?

Cheers,
Vasilis

Hi.
Thanks for poking. Looks like I'd accidentally marked this one handled
without actually doing so :(

The 4's in here are magic indexes.  Probably use sizeof(s32) in both cases.
Maybe for the first one make the fact it's after an s32 explicit with
&data->buffer.buf[1 * sizeof(s32)]

Of carry an offset through the code that you update when you fill in part of
the buffer.  That is probably cleaner.

	int offset = 0;
	stuff
	offset += sizeof(s32);
	mempcy(&data->bufer.buf[offset], &ret, 4);

if offset is used for a later entry then add the new element.

as above, but here it is I guess after 2 other elements, so

2 * sizeof(s32)

We have a new aligned_s64 that is cleaner for these cases.  It's only
in my togreg branch currently though so you'll need to base on that
to use it.

Hi Jonathan,

No problem at all!!!

Looks nice. I could also move both memcpy() after the if's so in case
there is an error I save myself from memcpy() once for no reason.
