The compiled result might be the same with or without the __packed attribute for now, but I think keep it there probably is safer for dealing with unexpected alignment requirements from the compiler in the future.

Just do a COMPILE_TEST build on x86-64:

In file included from ../drivers/crypto/caam/qi.c:12:
../include/soc/fsl/qman.h:259:1: warning: alignment 1 of ‘struct qm_dqrr_entry’ is less than 8 [-Wpacked-not-aligned]
 } __packed;
 ^
../include/soc/fsl/qman.h:292:2: warning: alignment 1 of ‘struct <anonymous>’ is less than 8 [-Wpacked-not-aligned]
  } __packed ern;
  ^

In any case, those packed markers are completely unnecessary because
those structs contain no holes.

Cheers,
