Hi,
The patch below should be able to fix this.
From a828a091828599154d8f6e8bfee1495a3df5cf34 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
From: Erik Schmauss <erik.schma...@intel.com>
Date: Fri, 27 Jul 2018 15:37:35 -0700
From: Erik Schmauss <erik.schma...@intel.com>
Subject: [PATCH 1] ACPICA: AML Parser: ignore control method status in
module-level code
Previous change in the AML parser code blindly set all non-successful
dispatcher statuses to AE_OK. This approach is incorrect because
successful control method invocations from module-level return
AE_CTRL_TRANSFER. Overwriting AE_OK to this status causes the AML
parser to think that there was no return value from the control
method invocation.
fixes: 73c2a01c52b6 (ACPICA: AML Parser: ignore dispatcher error status during
table load)
