Right now it's not possible for your model. You have the _DSM method
in the PEGP device scope, but it's not like the one with MXMX and
MXDS:
Method (_DSM, 4, NotSerialized)
{
If (LEqual (BRID, One))
{
If (LEqual (Arg0, Buffer (0x10)
{
/* 0000 */ 0xF8, 0xD8, 0x86,
0xA4, 0xDA, 0x0B, 0x1B, 0x47,
/* 0008 */ 0xA7, 0x2B, 0x60,
0x42, 0xA6, 0xB5, 0xBE, 0xE0
}))
{
P8XH (Zero, 0xF6)
Return (NVOP)
Arg0
Arg1
Arg2
Arg3
}
}
Return (0x80000001)
}
It must be a different method for you.
Can you also attach the SSDT.dsl file for your laptop?
sudo acpidump > acpidump.txt && sudo acpixtract acpidump.txt && iasl
-d DSDT.dat && iasl -d SSDT.dat && ls -l ??DT.dsl
This will create the DSDT.dsl and SSDT.dsl files that you can attach
to the bug report.
