[ Upstream commit 046ece773cc77ef5d2a1431b188ac3d0840ed150 ]
In accordance with ACPI specificication and _DSD data buffer
representation the data there is an array of bytes. Hence,
accessing it with something longer will create a sparse data
which is against of how device property APIs work in general
and also not defined in the ACPI specification (see [1]).
Fix the code to emit an error if non-byte accessor is used to
retrieve _DSD buffer data.
Fixes: 369af6bf2c28 ("ACPI: property: Read buffer properties as integers")

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
