On legacy platform, firmware provides OSHP method instead of _OSC method
to grant native hot-plug control to OS. For this reason, current code
evaluates OSHP method if _OSC evaluation failed with error code other
than AE_SUPPORT (ex. "AE_NOT_FOUND" would be returned on the legacy
platform that provides OSHP instead of _OSC).

So I think Hidetoshi meant that

>>> +		status = acpi_pci_osc_control_query(handle,&flags);
>>> +		if (ACPI_FAILURE(status)
>>> +		    || !(flags&  OSC_SHPC_NATIVE_HP_CONTROL))
>>> +			goto no_control;

should be

	status = acpi_pci_osc_control_query(handle,&flags);
	if (status == AE_SUPPORT)
		goto no_control;
