Subject[PATCH 1/1] net/x25: fix address parsing bug in x25_parse_address_block.
Date
This problem was discovered when a linux box was incorrectly rejecting
calls from some X.25 equipment. The problem was diagnosed to an incorrect
address length calculation in 'x25_parse_address_block', the calculation
did not account for the address digits being BCD encoded. The correct
calculation is already performed on line 155.

Patched on linux-next 18-Jun-2013
Tested on 2.6.32-45-generic
