The pm80 drivers both need a variant of the sas_identify_frame struct
without the CRC struct member. The pm80xx driver previously duplicated
the struct, omitting this field, to sas_identify_frame_local in:
commit 5990fd57ebea ("scsi: pm80xx: redefine sas_identify_frame structure")
The pm8001 driver also needs the _local variant. Instead of duplicating
the struct again, let's define it as a struct group inside the main
sas_identify_frame struct and remove the duplicate in the pm80xx driver.
Sending to stable, as this change is required for the fortify-panic fix
later in this chain to apply cleanly.

Correct the hw_event_resp and phy_start_req struct definitions to match
the layout of data sent by the HBA. Remove pointer arithmetics working
around the previously incorrect struct definitions.
Looking at the struct definition before this patch:
struct hw_event_resp {
[...]
struct sas_identify_frame sas_identify;
struct dev_to_host_fis sata_fis;
} __attribute__((packed, aligned(4)));
Previously the memcpy() in hw_event_sata_phy_up() crossed reading
from the sas_identify struct over into the sata_fis struct. This was
necessary, because the hw_event_resp struct definition didn't align
properly with what the HBA actually sent. The member sas_identify right
before the member sata_fis was 4 bytes too long, causing the first
4 bytes of the sata_fis to be shifted into the last 4 bytes of
sas_identify. The code worked around this by subtracting 4 bytes from
both the sata_fis pointer, as well as sizeof(sas_identify), when they
were used.
FORTIFY_SOURCE detected this deliberate choice to cross struct member
boundaries as an out-of-bounds read, even though in this case it didn't
lead to a vulnerability. Hence the following fortify-panic was
triggered:
kernel BUG at lib/string_helpers.c:1044!
RIP: 0010:__fortify_panic+0x9/0x10
hw_event_sata_phy_up+0xea/0x120 [pm80xx]
process_one_iomb+0x634e/0x6360 [pm80xx]
process_oq+0x391/0x430 [pm80xx]
pm80xx_chip_isr+0x78/0x100 [pm80xx]
tasklet_action_common+0x16a/0x2b0
handle_softirqs+0xcd/0x2a0
__irq_exit_rcu+0x50/0x100
common_interrupt+0x89/0xa0
Furthermore hw_event_resp was 64 bytes before this patch, which is
4 bytes too long. Messages exchanged between the pm8001 and the host
kernel can be a maximum of 64 bytes, as defined in iomb_size. The
message structs defined in pm8001_hwi.h must have a size of 60 bytes,
in order to leave space for a 4 byte header that implicitly precedes
each message.
Luckily the code interacting with hw_event_resp doesn't ever seem to
read or write the last 4 bytes of the struct and doesn't seem to use
the incorrect size of the struct in a copy operation. Hence it doesn't
overflow in practice. Further the pm80xx driver was unaffected by this
bug. While the pm80xx struct was also 64 bytes, the message size on
pm80xx is 128 bytes. Hence it is able to fit the 68 byte header and
message without overflowing.
This is not security critical AFAICT.
