The patch titled
acpi: clean up video.c boundary checks and types
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
acpi-clean-up-videoc-boundary-checks-and-types.patch
This patch was dropped because other changes were merged, which wrecked this patch

Subject: acpi: clean up video.c boundary checks and types
From: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
proc.c and video.c are a bit sloppy around types and style, confusing gcc
for a new feature that'll be in 2.6.33 and will cause a warning on the
current code.
This patch changes
if (foo + 1 > sizeof bar)
into
if (foo >= sizeof(bar))
which is more kernel-style.
it also changes a variable in proc.c to unsigned; it gets assigned a value
from an unsigned type, and is then only compared for > not for negative,
so using unsigned is just outright the right type
