Subject: [PATCH] rt2x00: do not align payload on modern H/W
RT2800 and newer hardware require padding between header and payload if
header length is not multiple of 4.
For historical reasons we also align payload to to 4 bytes boundary, but
such alignment is not needed on modern H/W.
Patch improve performance on embedded CPUs and _possibly_ fixes
skb_under_panic problems reported from time to time:
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=84911
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=72471
http://marc.info/?l=linux-wireless&m=139108549530402&w=2
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1087591
But we can not explain or otherwise confirm the patch fixes this panic
issue for sure.
