[PATCH] ACPI: PM: Add unused power resource quirk for THUNDEROBOT ZERO

From: Zhai Can

Date: Sat Feb 14 2026 - 11:15:53 EST


On the THUNDEROBOT ZERO laptop, the second NVMe slot and the discrete
NVIDIA GPU are both controlled by power-resource PXP. Due to the SSDT table
bug (lack of reference), PXP will be shut dow as an "unused" power resource
during initialization, making the NVMe slot #2 + NVIDIA both inaccessible.

This issue was introduced by commit a1224f34d72a ("ACPI: PM: Check states of
power resources during initialization"). Here are test results on
the three consecutive commits:

(bad again!) a1224f34d72a ACPI: PM: Check states of power resources during initialization
(good) bc2836859643 ACPI: PM: Do not turn off power resources in unknown state
(bad) 519d81956ee2 Linux 5.15-rc6

On commit bc2836859643 ("ACPI: PM: Do not turn off power resources in unknown state")
this was not an issue because the power resource state left UNKNOWN thus being ignored.

See also commit 9b04d99788cf ("ACPI: PM:
Do not turn of unused power resources on the Toshiba Click Mini") which
is another almost identical case to this one.

Fixes: a1224f34d72a ("ACPI: PM: Check states of power resources during initialization")
