Subject: 4.7 regression - ACPICA: Hardware: Enhance
 acpi_hw_validate_register() with access_width/bit_offset awareness

In my aging (ok old) HP DL980 G7 ->access_width may be either 0 or
max_bit_width, the later inspiring cpufreq to say go away.  The below
made box a happy camper again.

ACPI Error: Unsupported register access width: 0x40 (20160422/hwregs-165)

Dinged-up-by: my little hammer
