[patch 20/20] DMI: fix DMI onboard device discovery

[Greg KH]

-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------
From: Andrey Panin <pazke@xxxxxxxxx>

Attached patch fixes invalid pointer arithmetic in DMI code to make onboard
device discovery working again.

akpm: bug has been present since dmi_find_device() was added in 2.6.14. 
Affects ipmi only (I think) - the symptoms weren't described.

akpm: changed to use pointer arithmetic rather than open-coded sizeof.
