[PATCH] media: uvcvideo: Explicit alignment of uvc_frame and uvc_format

From: Ricardo Ribalda
Date: Mon May 01 2023 - 10:50:02 EST


Struct uvc_frame and uvc_format are packaged together on
streaming->formats on a sigle allocation.

This is working fine because both structures have a field with a
pointer, but it will stop working when the sizeof() of any of those
structs is not a muliple of the sizeof(void*).

Make that aligment contract explicit.

This is better than 3 allocations, and do not have any performance
penalty.
