[PATCH v2 0/5] iio: buffer: fix timestamp alignment (in rare case)

[David Lechner]

In [1], it was pointed out that the iio_push_to_buffers_with_timestamp()
function is not putting the timestamp at the correct offset in the scan
buffer in rare cases where the largest scan element size is larger than
sizeof(int64_t).

This only affected one driver, namely hid-sensor-rotation since it is
the only driver that meets the condition. To fix things up, first we
fix the hid-sensor-rotation driver in a way that preserves compatibility
with the broken timestamp alignment. Then we are free to fix the core
IIO code without affecting any users.

The first patch depends on [2] which is now in iio/fixes-togreg. It
should be OK to apply the first patch there and let the rest of the
patches go through iio/togreg (the later patches are just preventing
future bugs).

Changes in v2:
- Don't say "HACK" in comments.
- Cache timestamp offset instead of largest scan element size.
- New patch to ensure size/alignment is always power of 2 bytes.
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20260301-iio-fix-timestamp-alignment-v1-0-1a54980bfb90@xxxxxxxxxxxx
