If it this function
 http://lxr.free-electrons.com/source/drivers/platform/x86/sony-laptop.c?a=powerpc#L817
it just returns an index expected to be <0x10.
also offset was an int
 http://lxr.free-electrons.com/source/drivers/platform/x86/sony-laptop.c?a=powerpc#L1563

it make we wonder why somebody made the change ...

never mind
