We can convert original expression for 'writelen" to use ALIGN as
follows:
(p->len + 9) & ~3 => (p->len + 6 + 3) & ~3 => ALIGN(p->len + 6, 4)
Now, subsituting "p->len + 6" with "p->len + sizeof(p->addr) +
sizeof(p->len)" we end up with the same expression as used by kernel
couterpart in linux/ihex.h:
ALIGN(p->len + sizeof(p->addr) + sizeof(p->len), 4)
That is a full size of the record, aligned to 4 bytes. No functional
change intended.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
