--- Comment #17 from David Del Sol ([email protected]) ---
Quick update on the acpidump and the _DSM theory:

1) The acpidump was not corrupted - the uploaded acpidump.dat.gz is
byte-identical to the local file (md5 verified) and passes gzip integrity.
Uploaded it again as plain text (attachment 310632, "raw stdout output") in the
format you asked for.

2) Regarding a Windows-specific _DSM gate: the controlled tests rule it out.
The OS environment is bit-identical between the two cases - same kernel, same
config, nothing differs except the hardware power-on state:
- after a 30s power-button EC reset, a cold power-on WITH the adapter
connected: ~0.2-2.5 W (bug reproduces)
- after that same reset, a cold power-on WITHOUT the adapter, plugging it in
after the OS is running: sustained 31.7 W
No driver or ACPI call differs between the two; the EC's charging mode is
decided at EC power-on from AC presence and does not respond to any runtime
OSI/_DSM interaction (mid-session re-plug from the slow state gives only a
transient spike).

3) New data point from today: once fast, the state survives even a FULL
shutdown + power-on with the adapter connected (28.0-28.4 W sustained) - so it
persists across power cycles and only the 30s hard EC reset returns it to slow.
That also explains why every clean Linux install showed the bug: all installs
ran from the factory-default (slow) EC state, and nothing during an install
changes the latch.

So this is EC firmware behavior determined at power-on, with no OS involvement.
Happy to provide any further dumps or a _DSM trace if useful, but the OSI/_DSM
angle looks closed to me. I've withdrawn the kernel patch and retitled this
report accordingly.
