altos/arm: Align data so that gcc 5.4 doesn't do byte-accesses. Add -Wcast-align
Gcc 5.4.1 tracks alignment of data through assignments, so that a
uint32_t pointer which comes from byte-aligned uint8_t data:
extern uint8_t foo[];
uint32_t *q = (void *) foo;
Fetches and stores through this pointer are done bytewise. This is
slow (meh), but if q references a device register, things to bad very
quickly.
This patch works around this bug in the compiler by adding
__attribute__((aligned(4))) tags to some variables, or changing them
from uint8_t to uint32_t. Places doing this will now be caught as I've
added -Wcast-align to the compiler flags. That required adding (void
*) casts, after the relevant code was checked to make sure the
compiler could tell that the addresses were aligned.
