Thanks for looking into this!

Looking into it I think removing packed attribute brings a regression immediately on 64-bit platforms since u32 member followed by u8.

Current code does this:
val = *fourcc & ~BIT(31); ... for (i = 0; i < sizeof(*fourcc); i++) { ... strcpy(p, *fourcc & BIT(31) ? " big-endian" : " little-endian"); ... p = special_hex_number(p, output + sizeof(output) - 2, *fourcc, sizeof(u32));
If unaligned access is not good it will crash on some architectures AFAIU.
So, it should use get_unaligned() in the first place.

This looks weird, however I can't immediately see any side effects of it. What if the address of the entire structure is unaligned, would we have a gap here? In any case I wouldn't go this way.
