Subject: [PATCH] ACPI: EC: limit multibyte access to EC to 8 byte

commit dadf28a10c3eb29421837a2e413ab869ebd9e168 enabled multibyte
access to EC, but ignored that the consuming function expects the
bitfields to be in chunks of maximal 64 bit. So limit multibyte
access to 8 byte to prevent error in the ACPI layer.
