Hi Arthur,
This is not a flags attribute. This is for a Query Read 64-bit Attribute 
data. In the existing code, we do not have a read 64-bit attribute, so 
adding this new code would also allow future re-use.

The new "struct utp_upiu_query_response_v4_0" would improve readability 
because it is formatted exactly as how the jedec standard defines for 
Attribute Read. We won't need to use type cast to get the 64-bit value.
There would be no issue with efficiency because the same machine code 
would be generated.

The existing "struct utp_upiu_query_v4_0" probably has a bug in it. It 
does not use the  __attribute__((__packed__)) attribute. The compiler is 
free to add padding in this structure, resulting in the read attribute 
value being incorrect. I plan to provide a separate patch to fix this issue.

Thanks, Bao
