checkpatch.pl warns about using __attribute__((packed)) in kernel
 | 
						||
headers: "__packed is preferred over __attribute__((packed))". If one
 | 
						||
follows that advice it could cause problems in the exported header
 | 
						||
files, because the outside world doesn't know about this shortcut.

 CC      miscutils/ubi_attach_detach.o
 | 
						||
 In file included from miscutils/ubi_attach_detach.c:27:0:
 | 
						||
 /usr/include/mtd/ubi-user.h:330:3: error: conflicting types for ‘__packed’
 | 
						||
 /usr/include/mtd/ubi-user.h:314:3: note: previous declaration of ‘__packed’ was here
 | 
						||
...
 | 
						||
 | 
						||
Fix the problem by substituting __packed with __attribute__((packed)) in
 | 
						||
the header_install.pl script.
