Ok, but why is adding 4 to imx_dsp_rsc->len needed? Why doesn't
imx_dsp_rsc->len already contain the right size?
The size of struct fw_rsc_imx_dsp is 16 byte. From your
implementation, it seems like ->len is equal to 12 and 4 needs to be
added to make it 16. To me ->len should be 16... What am I missing?
