NAK

I keep trying to point out that this is not true.

The ACPI interface to use can only be safely determined one way - and
that is to see what methods the BIOS has attached to the device and use
those.

Take the ACPI handle, go look for _GTF, _SDD etc and believe the
firmware. Nothing else works.
