I was digging further into the DSDT table of the laptop that has WQ00
method and it turned out that this method is a ACPI_WMI_EXPENSIVE. It
has its own GUID of "39142400-C6A3-40fa-BADB-8A2652834100". I believe
wmi_query_block, which is deprecated BTW, can be used to access this
method instead of acpi_evaluate. However, I don't have a machine to
test it on. Any ideas?
