Problems with Data Types, Medium Severity (3)

udev.h
[+] struct udevice (3)

	Change	Effect
1	Field action has been added at the middle position of this structural type.	1) Size of the inclusive type has been changed. 2) Layout of structure fields has been changed and therefore fields at higher positions of the structure definition may be incorrectly accessed by applications.
2	Field ignore_device has been added at the middle position of this structural type.	1) Size of the inclusive type has been changed. 2) Layout of structure fields has been changed and therefore fields at higher positions of the structure definition may be incorrectly accessed by applications.
3	Field run_list has been added at the middle position of this structural type.	1) Size of the inclusive type has been changed. 2) Layout of structure fields has been changed and therefore fields at higher positions of the structure definition may be incorrectly accessed by applications.

	Change	Effect
1	Parameter action of type char const* has been added to the calling stack.	This parameter will not be initialized by old clients.
