So it's highly likely that the 64 bit addresses used for specific PM
registers are wrong in the FADT, where as they are correct in the 32 bit
addresses.

The FADT supports old 32 bit legacy addressing for PM registers and 64
bit addressing too.  Unfortunately sometimes the firmware sets the 64
bit versions incorrectly and the kernel is now using these in preference
to the 32 bit variant, hence the issue.
