If the buffer containing string data is not NUL-terminated
(which is perfectly legal according to the ACPI specification),
the acpi battery driver might not honor its length.
Note that this is about extracting package entries of type ACPI_TYPE_BUFFER.

And please spell ACPI in capitals.

Fix this by limiting the amount of data to be copied to
the buffer length while also using strscpy() to make sure
that the resulting string is always NUL-terminated.
OK

Also use '\0' instead of a plain 0.
Why?  It's a u8, not a char.

I would add

u32 len = 32;

-                       if (element->type == ACPI_TYPE_STRING ||

And here I would do

case ACPI_TYPE_BUFFER:
         if (len > element->buffer.length + 1)
                 len = element->buffer.length + 1;

         fallthrough;
case ACPI_TYPE_STRING:
         strscpy(ptr, element->buffer.pointer, len);
         break;
case ACPI_TYPE_INTEGER:

and so on.

But wouldn't this cause the ACPI string object to be accessed the wrong way
(buffer.pointer instead of string.pointer)?
