First, remove type casts that make acpi_os_read_port() only work on little endian and are generally not needed. Second, avoid clearing the memory pointed to by the value return pointer in acpi_os_read_port() if it is the dummy on the stack (in which case clearing it is not necessary). Finally, prevent both acpi_os_read_port() and acpi_os_write_port() from crashing the kernel when they receive an unsupported width value and make them print a debug message and return an error instead.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
