Well the ACPI spec 1.0b says
4.7.3.3 Power Management Timer (PM_TMR)
...
This register is accessed as 32 bits.
and this text is still there in 6.2.
So it's probably worth it to cite this in the commit log
and explain it's a spec violation.
I think it's better to be restrictive and only allow the
minimal variation from spec - in this case I guess this means 2 byte
reads.
In any case pls do include an explanation for why you picked
one over the other.
