One of a class of bugs pointed out by Lars in a recent review. iio_push_to_buffers_with_timestamp assumes the buffer used is aligned to the size of the timestamp (8 bytes). This is not guaranteed in this driver which uses a 16 byte array of smaller elements on the stack. As Lars also noted this anti pattern can involve a leak of data to userspace and that indeed can happen here. We close both issues by moving to a suitable structure in the iio_priv(). This data is allocated with kzalloc so no data can leak appart from previous readings. It is necessary to force the alignment of ts to avoid the padding on x86_32 being different from 64 bit platorms (it alows for 4 bytes aligned 8 byte types.
