Some DSDT-s have an off-by-one bug where the SINF package count is
one higher than the SQTY reported value, allocate 1 entry extra.
Also make the SQTY <-> SINF package count mismatch error more verbose
to help debugging similar issues in the future.
This fixes the panasonic-laptop driver failing to probe() on some
devices with the following errors:
[ 3.958887] SQTY reports bad SINF length SQTY: 37 SINF-pkg-count: 38
[ 3.958892] Couldn't retrieve BIOS data
[ 3.983685] Panasonic Laptop Support - With Macros: probe of MAT0019:00 failed with error -5

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 reStructuredText 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.
