Subject: [PATCH 3.2 159/221] radeon: Do not directly dereference pointers
 to BIOS area.

3.2.69-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: David Miller <davem@...emloft.net>

commit f2c9e560b406f2f6b14b345c7da33467dee9cdf2 upstream.

Use readb() and memcpy_fromio() accessors instead.
