Hi,

The patch below should be able to fix this.

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)
