Warning when using packed_bits on a field wider than u8.

[konkers]

I'm trying to create a descriptor for a joystick with 10 buttons:

#[gen_hid_descriptor(
    (collection = APPLICATION, usage_page = GENERIC_DESKTOP, usage = JOYSTICK) = {
        (usage = X,) = {x=input;};
        (usage = Y,) = {y=input;};
        (usage_page = BUTTON, usage_min = BUTTON_1, usage_max = 10) = {
            #[packed_bits 10] #[item_settings data,variable,absolute] buttons=input;
        };
    }
)]
struct InputReport {
    x: u8,
    y: u8,
    buttons: u16,
}

This yields the following warning:

warning: borrow of packed field is unsafe and requires unsafe function or block (error E0133)

   = warning: this was previously accepted by the compiler but is being phased out; it will become a hard error in a future release!

   = note: fields of packed structs might be misaligned: dereferencing a misaligned pointer or even just creating a misaligned reference is undefined behavior
   = note: this warning originates in an attribute macro (in Nightly builds, run with -Z macro-backtrace for more info)

A workaround seems to be to split the buttons into two u8 fields:

#[gen_hid_descriptor(
    (collection = APPLICATION, usage_page = GENERIC_DESKTOP, usage = JOYSTICK) = {
        (usage = X,) = {x=input;};
        (usage = Y,) = {y=input;};
        (usage_page = BUTTON, usage_min = BUTTON_1, usage_max = BUTTON_8) = {
            #[packed_bits 8] #[item_settings data,variable,absolute] buttons0=input;
        };
        (usage_page = BUTTON, usage_min = 9, usage_max = 10) = {
            #[packed_bits 2] #[item_settings data,variable,absolute] buttons1=input;
        };
    }
)]
pub struct InputReport {
    pub x: u8,
    pub y: u8,
    pub buttons0: u8,
    pub buttons1: u8,
}
