Hi,

Some comments inline, though one of them (about extensibility of CDAT
structures) applies just as much to the existing code so doesn't affect

Trivial: This is a functional change and should be called out -
previously the base address was stashed even if the length test
fails, now it isn't. May make no difference because it was never used
if that's the case, but would be nice to still mention it in patch description.

Also, ACPI tables are designed to be extensible and I think that
applies to CDAT tables as well - so this code should not be
checking for a precise match, but rather that it is greater than
or equal to the size we will read from.
