structure alignment for new versions #1
Description
Someone on #flashrom on IRC brought up a good point about the existing 1.0
alignment not being very compatible with existing RISC platforms:
<minipli> [...] all members could be alignend simply by reordering some of them
<minipli> and the size of the struct wouldn't change
<minipli> e.g. use the following order: fmap_signature, fmap_ver_major,
fmap_ver_minor, fmap_nareas, fmap_size, fmap_base, fmap_name
<minipli> and for the inner struct I would suggest to use uint32_t for the
area_flags member, so the odd elements of the field will be alligned, too
Check into this and update parsers (flashmap reference code and mosys) to deal
with it.
