------------------
From: Will Deacon <will@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit 849adec41203ac5837c40c2d7e08490ffdef3c2c upstream.
Commit d968d2b801d8 ("ARM: 7497/1: hw_breakpoint: allow single-byte
watchpoints on all addresses") changed the validation requirements for
hardware watchpoints on arch/arm/. Update our compat layer to implement
the same relaxation.
