From: Tristan Madani <tristan@talencesecurity.com>

applespi_get_spi_settings() reads three ACPI _DSD properties
(spiCSDelay, resetA2RUsec, resetRecUsec) as u64 values from their
buffer pointers without verifying that the buffer is at least 8
bytes long.  If a firmware implementation provides a shorter buffer,
the u64 dereference reads beyond the allocated object.

Add buffer length checks before each u64 dereference.

Fixes: 038b1a05eae6 ("Input: add Apple SPI keyboard and trackpad driver")

Changes in v3:
- Drop Cc: stable since this is hardening rather than a fix for a
  specific regression, per Dmitry Torokhov

Changes in v2:
- Fix alignment of continued condition lines
