From b0e2af3ec94e0431adb59d9f249ebbd3b7285158 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Muhammad Bilal Date: Thu, 9 Jul 2026 21:58:59 +0500 Subject: [PATCH] platform/x86: hp-bioscfg: warn on element type mismatch instead of failing MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit hp_populate_enumeration_elements_from_package() returns -EIO and aborts enumeration of the entire attribute when any single element has an unexpected ACPI type. This is observed on HP EliteBook 840 G2 when the BIOS returns malformed ACPI data following a failed WMI query: ACPI BIOS Error (bug): AE_AML_BUFFER_LIMIT, Index (0x000000032) is beyond end of object (length 0x32) ACPI Error: Aborting method \_SB.WMID.WQBE due to previous error Error expected type 2 for elem 13, but got type 1 instead hp_bioscfg: Returned error 0x3, "Invalid command value/Feature not supported" Aborting immediately discards the attribute entirely. Warn about the unexpected element type, free the temporary string, skip the offending element, and continue parsing the remaining package instead of failing the whole attribute.
