[PATCH v2 0/2] iio: orientation: hid-sensor-rotation: fix quaternion alignment

[David Lechner]

The main point of this series is to fix a regression reported in
hid-sensor-rotation where the alignment of the quaternion field in the
data was inadvertently changed from 16 bytes to 8 bytes. This is an
unusually case (one of only 2 in the kernel) where the .repeat field of
struct iio_scan_type is used and we have such a requirement. (The other
case uses u16 instead of u32, so it wasn't affected.)

To make the reason for the alignment more explicit to future readers,
we introduce a new macro, IIO_DECLARE_QUATERNION(), to declare the
array with proper alignment. This is meant to follow the pattern of
the similar IIO_DECLARE_BUFFER_WITH_TS() macro.
