Pull driver core fix from Greg KH:
 "Here is a single driver core fix for 4.20-rc5

  It resolves an issue with the data alignment in 'struct devres' for
  the ARC platform. The full details are in the commit changelog, but
  the short summary is the change is a single line:

	-       unsigned long long              data[]; /* guarantee ull alignment */
	+       u8 __aligned(ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN) data[];

  This has been in linux-next for a while with no reported issues"
