Subject: [PATCH] acpi: remove length check for large registers
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

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

I'm aware of the limitation of the generic address structure, but we are
forced by the (current) ACPI specification to use it if it is present for a
given register.
