The legacy bit width field in the Generic Address Structure is 1 byte,
limiting the reportable register width to 255 bits. Larger registers
will cause a length mismatch warning to be printed in
acpi_tb_validate_fadt().
To avoid the warning, disable the length mismatch check for registers
larger than 255 bits.
