[PATCH 1/3] ACPI: OSI: Stop advertising support for "3.0 _SCP Extensions"

From: Armin Wolf
Date: Thu Apr 10 2025 - 12:55:57 EST


As specified in section 5.7.2 of the ACPI specification the feature
group string "3.0 _SCP Extensions" implies that the operating system
evaluates the _SCP control method with additional parameters.

However the ACPI thermal driver evaluates the _SCP control method
without those additional parameters, conflicting with the above
feature group string advertised to the firmware thru _OSI.

Stop advertising support for this feature string to avoid confusing
the ACPI firmware.

Fixes: e5f660ebef68 ("ACPI / osi: Collect _OSI handling into one single file")
