[U-Boot] __attribute__((__packed__)) switching to byte-access on ARM

What exactly is your problem?

Note that you did not exactly ask a question, you just describe  your
observations so we have to guess what might be puzzeling you. I think
that  some  people  with  more ARM experience than me will simply not
understand what you are asking about, because they are  used  to  GCC
turning  perfectly  valid  looking 32 bit accesses into a sequence of
four 8 bit accesses.

They consider this "normal".

Best regards,
