From: Greg KH <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
3.5-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Jean Delvare <jdelvare@suse.de>
commit f712c71f7b2b43b894d1e92e1b77385fcad8815f upstream.
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
