[PATCH 3/3] HID: roccat: declaring meaning of pack pragma usage inkone and pyra driver

From: Stefan Achatz
Date: Sat Nov 06 2010 - 14:53:39 EST


Using pack pragma to prevent padding bytes in binary data structures
used for hardware communication. Explanation of these pragmas was requested.
This patch does for kone and pyra what another patch does for koneplus.
