The _DDC method should return a buffer, or an integer in case of an error.
But some Lenovo laptops incorrectly return EDID as buffer in ACPI package.
Calling _DDC generates this ACPI Warning:
ACPI Warning: \_SB.PCI0.GP17.VGA.LCD._DDC: Return type mismatch - \
found Package, expected Integer/Buffer (
20240827/nspredef-254)
Use the first element of the package to get the EDID buffer.
The DSDT:
Name (AUOP, Package (0x01)
{
Buffer (0x80)
{
...
}
})
...
Method (_DDC, 1, NotSerialized) // _DDC: Display Data Current
{
If ((PAID == AUID))
{
Return (AUOP) /* \_SB_.PCI0.GP17.VGA_.LCD_.AUOP */
}
ElseIf ((PAID == IVID))
{
Return (IVOP) /* \_SB_.PCI0.GP17.VGA_.LCD_.IVOP */
}
ElseIf ((PAID == BOID))
{
Return (BOEP) /* \_SB_.PCI0.GP17.VGA_.LCD_.BOEP */
}
ElseIf ((PAID == SAID))
{
Return (SUNG) /* \_SB_.PCI0.GP17.VGA_.LCD_.SUNG */
}
Return (Zero)
}
