The situation is even worse here - the (v2) bit width now is divisible by 16, but still isn't in sync with the v1 field (as is the gpe0 one): v1 v2 PM1a_EVT 4 0x10 PM1a_CNT 2 0x10 PM1b_CNT 2 0x10 PM_TMR 4 0x20 GPE0 8 0x20 That would basically mean there's no way to use the v2 fields here - all the code could do is report the inconsitency, but it would have to use the v1 field in any case. That's really a shame, and as before I'm somewhat hesitant to do so. The only way I could easily find myself doing this would be to introduce a command line option controlling the behavior here, but that would need to be done outside of the ACPICA code I'd assume.
