Subject: ACPI / watchdog: Fix off-by-one error at resource assignment

From: Takashi Iwai <[email protected]>

commit b1abf6fc49829d89660c961fafe3f90f3d843c55 upstream.

The resource allocation in WDAT watchdog has off-one-by error, it sets one byte more than the actual end address. This may eventually lead to unexpected resource conflicts.
