CHANGELOG:
* Patch by Jean-Paul Saman, 23 Feb 2005

- include/ns16550.h 
Fixes alignement bug with UART that only supports word aligned access:
removed "__attribute__ ((packed));" for "(CFG_NS16550_REG_SIZE == 4)" 
GCC generates bytes access when it encounters the packed attribute 
regardless if the struct is already word aligned for a platform. 
Peripherals that can only handle word aligned access won't work properly 
when accessed with byte access. The struct NS16550 is already word aligned 
for REG_SIZE = 4, so there is no need to packed the struct in that case.
