It's likely under the embedded controller. If you give me the whole
OperationRegion() and the Field() for that one it might be possible
I could have a hint to get it.
It should be something like that:
Device (EC0)
{
...
...
OperationRegion(XXXX, EmbeddedControl, 0x00, 0xFF)
Field(XXXX, ByteAcc, ..., ...)
{
...
...
}
...
}
I'll need all the Field with the same name (here XXXX).
Or alternatively send to me the whole ASL.
