Hi Andy,

Thanks for your suggestion, what about the condition like the following?
The main bug in bios is bit_width is not comfortable with access_bit_width
So check it first.

if (*access_bit_width < bit_width && bit_offset == 0) {
	if ((bit_width == 16 && (*paddr & 0x01) == 0) ||
	    (bit_width == 32 && (*paddr & 0x03) == 0) ||
	    (bit_width == 64 && (*paddr & 0x07) == 0))
		*access_bit_width = bit_width;
}


Thanks,
Liwei.
