Hi Dorota,

Thank you for the patch.

The patch itself looks fine, but I always worry when we depart from the
documentation (sometimes that's a worry about documentation inaccuracies
:-)). In this particular case, we need to test the change on i.MX7 too,
as the alignment constraints could be platform-specific.

I would also very much appreciate feedback from NXP on this. There's a
risk of ill side-effects that I would prefer ruling out very clearly.
