3.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Bob Moore <robert.moore@xxxxxxxxx>
commit 4be4be8fee2ee99a52f94f90d03d2f287ee1db86 upstream.
This change fixes a problem where a Store operation to an ArgX object
that contained a reference to a field object did not complete the
automatic dereference and then write to the actual field object.
Instead, the object type of the field object was inadvertently changed
to match the type of the source operand. The new behavior will actually
write to the field object (buffer field or field unit), thus matching
the correct ACPI-defined behavior.
