Error 6155 -
Invalid OEM Table ID ^ (Length cannot exceed 8 characters)
Examining the shipped .hex files, I noticed that the TableID string is
truncated to 8 characters only, e.g. in ssdt-misc.hex :
static unsigned char ssdp_misc_aml[] = {
0x53, 0x53, 0x44, 0x54, 0x62, 0x01, 0x00, 0x00,
0x01, 0x7f, 0x42, 0x58, 0x50, 0x43, 0x00, 0x00,
0x42, 0x58, 0x53, 0x53, 0x44, 0x54, 0x53, 0x55,
0x01, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x49, 0x4e, 0x54, 0x4c,
Therefore, I assume that the TableID argument can safely be truncated.
This patch fixes the build for me. I confirmed by building on Debian
stable with and without the patch and comparing the .hex files I got
in both cases, they are identical.
