ACPI: property: Allow _DSD buffer data only for byte accessors
[ Upstream commit 046ece773cc77ef5d2a1431b188ac3d0840ed150 ]
In accordance with ACPI specificication and _DSD data buffer
representation the data there is an array of bytes. Hence,
accessing it with something longer will create a sparse data
which is against of how device property APIs work in general
and also not defined in the ACPI specification (see [1]).
Fix the code to emit an error if non-byte accessor is used to
retrieve _DSD buffer data.
Fixes: 369af6bf2c28 ("ACPI: property: Read buffer properties as integers")
