ACPI, APEI: Fixup common access width firmware bug
Many firmwares have a common register definition bug where 8-bit access width is specified for a 32-bit register. Ideally this should be fixed in the BIOS, but earlier versions of the kernel did not complain, so fix that up silently. This closes kernel bug #43282: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=43282 Signed-off-by: Jean Delvare <jdelvare@suse.de> Acked-by: Huang Ying <ying.huang@intel.com> Acked-by: Gary Hade <garyhade@us.ibm.com> Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org [3.4+] Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com>
