[PATCH] Avoid _BIX ACPI method on Lenovo Yoga 300.

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



On the (current?) Yoga 300 firmware, the _BIX method fails with an error.
This prevents the kernel from correctly detecting the presence of a
battery.

[   28.641906] ACPI Exception: AE_AML_PACKAGE_LIMIT, Index (0x000000010) is beyond end of object (length 0xD) (20160422/exoparg2-427)
[   28.641924] ACPI Error: Method parse/execution failed [\_SB.PCI0.LPCB.H_EC.BAT1._BIX] (Node ffff9145fb0b2230), AE_AML_PACKAGE_LIMIT (20160422/psparse-542)

Fortunately, the _BIF method can be used to get battery information. This
change causes the kernel to use the _BIF method to preference on the
Yogo 300, allowing the battery to be detected correctly.
