-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.
------------------
From: Andrey Panin <[email protected]>
Attached patch fixes invalid pointer arithmetic in DMI code to make onboard
device discovery working again.
akpm: bug has been present since dmi_find_device() was added in 2.6.14.
Affects ipmi only (I think) - the symptoms weren't described.
akpm: changed to use pointer arithmetic rather than open-coded sizeof.
