Several platforms encountered the following kernel message:
ACPI: \_TZ_.BATZ: Invalid passive threshold
This issue arises due to the failure of the acpi_evaluate_reference function
in drivers/acpi/thermal.c while evaluating the ACPI _PSL method.
status = acpi_evaluate_reference(tz->device->handle, "_PSL",
NULL, &devices);
if (ACPI_FAILURE(status)) {
acpi_handle_info(tz->device->handle,
"Invalid passive threshold\n");
tz->trips.passive.valid = false;
} else {
tz->trips.passive.valid = true;
}
However, the root cause lies in the _PSL method returning packages with a count
exceeding ACPI_MAX_HANDLES in acpi_evaluate_reference.
As per the ACPI specification, the _PSL (Passive List) method is defined under
a thermal zone and evaluates to a list of processor objects to be used for
passive cooling. And it will return a variable-length Package containing a list
of References to processor objects.
