Standards such as the MIPI DisCo for SoundWire 1.0 specification assume the _ADR field is 64 bits. _ADR is defined as an "Integer" represented as 64 bits since ACPI 2.0 released in 2002. The low levels already use _ADR as 64 bits, e.g. in struct acpi_device_info. This patch bumps the representation used for sysfs to 64 bits. To avoid any compatibility/ABI issues, the printf format is only extended to 16 characters when the actual _ADR value exceeds the 32 bit maximum. Example with a SoundWire device, the results show the complete vendorID and linkID which were omitted before: Before: $ more /sys/bus/acpi/devices/device\:38/adr 0x5d070000 After: $ more /sys/bus/acpi/devices/device\:38/adr 0x000010025d070000 Signed-off-by: Pierre-Louis Bossart <pierre-louis.bossart@linux.intel.com> [ rjw: Replace 0xFFFFFFFF with U32_MAX, clean up subject ] Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

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.
