Subject: watchdog: hpwdt: fix declaration of struct smbios_entry_point()
From: Roland Dreier <rdreier@xxxxxxxxx>
On my HP DL380 G5 system running a 64-bit kernel, loading the hpwdt driver
causes a crash because the driver attempts to ioremap an invalid physical
address. This is because the driver has an incorrect definition of the SMBIOS
table entry point structure: the table address is only a 32-bit quantity, and
making it a u64 means that the high-order 32 bits end up containing garbage.
Correcting the structure definition fixes the driver so that it loads without
any problems on my system.
