[PATCH] x86/ACPI: correct off-by-1 in SGI MMCFG check
Posted by Jan Beulich 9 months, 2 weeks ago
As supported by the printk() (deliberately made visible in context by
also correcting a mis-indented return statement), "above 4GiB" is meant
here. Avoid comparison with a constant to "escape" Misra rule 7.2
complaints. (Note however that even up-to-date Linux, which is where we
"inherited" this code from, still uses the very same off-by-1 check.)

Fixes: 94ea0622c5b8 ("x86-64/mmcfg: relax base address restriction")

Albeit I wonder how relevant those checks are anymore, TBH I would be
quite tempted to just drop all this.

Thanks, Roger.
