Offending code is in SSDT.8:
Scope (\_SB.PC00.PEG0) {
[...]
Method (_STA, 0, NotSerialized) // _STA: Status
{
If ((PG0E == One))
{
Return (0x0F)
}
Return (Zero)
}
[...]
}
PG0E is defined as External/UnknownObj, the problem is that in
DSDT we have two definition of PG0E - one is the field unit under
"DefinitionBlock" root, another one as a package under "Scope (_SB)". My
suspicion is that they meant "\PG0E" and simply forgot to define scope
explicitly, because comparing package to One doesn't make sense.
So the patch I sent works, but whole situation looks like not as a
bug or not implemented functionality in OpenBSD, but as a bug in the
vendor's ASL, and I am not sure what is the policy for including such
workarounds into the tree.
