Siva Rebbagondla baa8caf4ab rsi: fix memory alignment issue in ARM32 platforms
During testing in ARM32 platforms, observed below kernel panic, as driver
accessing data beyond the allocated memory while submitting URB to USB.

Fix: Resolved this by specifying correct length by considering 64 bit
alignment. so that, USB bus driver will access only allocated memory.

Unit-test: Tested and confirm that driver bring up and scanning,
connection and data transfer works fine with this fix.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
