The documentation of the newly added field is missing, triggering a
warning when building the documentation

https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/linux-media/users/patchwork/-/jobs/110343884
WARNING: ./include/uapi/linux/media/arm/mali-c55-config.h:803 struct member '__pad' not described in 'mali_c55_params_ccm'

I am about to send a PR collecting all mali-related changes, I can add

 * @__pad:	Padding bytes

To the documentation of struct mali_c55_params_ccm.
