OK. I guess misinterpreting something else as an integer isn't
particular dangerous in this case.

Pushed to drm-intel-next. Thanks.

Oh, could you ask the bug reporter to attach an acpidump to the
bug? Might be good to have that stuff on record somewhere if/when
someone wants to actually figure out what's going on here.

That said, maybe we should just nuke this whole thing instead?
Unless I'm missing someting this code doesn't seem to actually
do anything...
