On the ARMv7 it shouldn't be an issue, because pointer size equals to
the s32 or int. However, I've reordered the fields to group pointers
and integers together.

struct mtk_pmic_sensor {
	struct mtk_pmic_thermal *  mt;                   /*     0     4 */
	struct iio_channel *       adc_channel;          /*     4     4 */
	struct thermal_zone_device * tzdev;              /*     8     4 */
	int                        id;                   /*    12     4 */

	/* size: 16, cachelines: 1, members: 4 */
	/* last cacheline: 16 bytes */
};

struct mtk_pmic_thermal {
	struct device *            dev;                  /*     0     4 */
	struct regmap *            regmap;               /*     4     4 */
	const struct mtk_thermal_data  * data;           /*     8     4 */
	s32                        t_slope1;             /*    12     4 */
	s32                        t_slope2;             /*    16     4 */
	s32                        t_intercept;          /*    20     4 */
	struct mtk_pmic_sensor     sensors[1];           /*    24    16 */

	/* size: 40, cachelines: 1, members: 7 */
	/* last cacheline: 40 bytes */
};

The compiler will still add some padding on the AArch64 though.

struct mtk_pmic_sensor {
	struct mtk_pmic_thermal *  mt;                   /*     0     8 */
	struct iio_channel *       adc_channel;          /*     8     8 */
	struct thermal_zone_device * tzdev;              /*    16     8 */
	int                        id;                   /*    24     4 */

	/* size: 32, cachelines: 1, members: 4 */
	/* padding: 4 */
	/* last cacheline: 32 bytes */
};

struct mtk_pmic_thermal {
	struct device *            dev;                  /*     0     8 */
	struct regmap *            regmap;               /*     8     8 */
	const struct mtk_thermal_data  * data;           /*    16     8 */
	s32                        t_slope1;             /*    24     4 */
	s32                        t_slope2;             /*    28     4 */
	s32                        t_intercept;          /*    32     4 */

	/* XXX 4 bytes hole, try to pack */

	struct mtk_pmic_sensor     sensors[1];           /*    40    32 */

	/* size: 72, cachelines: 2, members: 7 */
	/* sum members: 68, holes: 1, sum holes: 4 */
	/* last cacheline: 8 bytes */
};

Is this good enough?

Other comments will be fixed in the v2.

Best regards,
