The iwl_fw_ini_error_dump_range structure has conflicting alignment
requirements for the inner union and the outer struct:

In file included from drivers/net/wireless/intel/iwlwifi/fw/dbg.c:9:
drivers/net/wireless/intel/iwlwifi/fw/error-dump.h:312:2: error: field  within 'struct iwl_fw_ini_error_dump_range' is less aligned than 'union iwl_fw_ini_error_dump_range::(anonymous at drivers/net/wireless/intel/iwlwifi/fw/error-dump.h:312:2)' and is usually due to 'struct iwl_fw_ini_error_dump_range' being packed, which can lead to unaligned accesses [-Werror,-Wunaligned-access]
        union {

As the original intention was apparently to make the entire structure
unaligned, mark the innermost members the same way so the union
becomes packed as well.

Up to you, the effect is the same, as the other two members are already
packed. I generally try to keep the packing to the members that are
actually unaligned, to make the code more efficient, but in this case
the entire structure is unaligned, so it doesn't matter.
