Here we go:

Subject: ACPI: fix FADT parsing (v3)

The (1.0 inherited) separate length fields in the FADT are byte
granular. Further, PM1a/b may live in distinct address spaces, and they
also could have different widths (if using the respective v2 fields was
okay, which in practice it apparently isn't). acpi_tb_convert_fadt()
should account for all of these conditions.
