A newer version 0.18.2 of the fwts tools is now available to fix this bug.

Freeze Exception request:

a) A description of the proposed changes, with sufficient detail to estimate their potential impact on the distribution:

1. Version 0.18.2:
   Fix FADT test, which was reading the wrong ACPI table from /sys/firmware/acpi/tables and was not decoding FADT GAS data or 64 bit addresses correctly. Also added some extra address and port width information when FADT tests detect a mismatch in FADT table, otherwise the tests are not very useful when a test detects a failure.

b) A rationale for the exception, explaining the benefit of the change:

Will fix a broken FADT test.

c) Any additional information which would be helpful in considering the decision.

This is required for OEM firmware testing.
