Some Lenovo laptops incorrectly return EDID as
buffer in ACPI package (instead of just a buffer)
when calling _DDC.

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)
}

FWIW the ACPI spec is clear that this /should/ be an ACPI buffer.

https://uefi.org/htmlspecs/ACPI_Spec_6_4_html/Apx_B_Video_Extensions/output-device-specific-methods.html#ddc-return-the-edid-for-this-device

That being said this is production firmware and in the wild, I don't 
personally see a problem with handling it this way.

Some other improvement suggestion though below.

As the ACPI spec indicates this should be a buffer, I think it's a good 
idea to emit a FW_BUG message here so that this can be detected by users 
and tools like FWTS and the firmware can be improved in the future.

Something like this:

if (condition) {
	pr_info(FW_BUG "EDID was found in ACPI package instead of ACPI buffer");
	obj = &obj->package.elements[0];
}

Any reason for this change?  obj is assigned to buffer.pointer already.

Hi Mario,

Thanks for the suggestions!

An ACPI Warning is currently being generated:

ACPI Warning: \_SB.PCI0.GP17.VGA.LCD._DDC: Return type mismatch - found
Package, expected Integer/Buffer (20240827/nspredef-254)

This is also noticed by FWTS in the form of KlogAcpiReturnTypeMismatch
and may be noticed by users as well.

I think it is unnecessary to emit two warnings for the same problem.

However, some comments could make the code clearer. I will add some
comments to V2.

In the case of an ACPI package, obj points to the first element of the
package. The buffer.pointer still points to the original location.

Ah yes; if this warning is already being emitted no extra FW_BUG is needed.

Sounds good on comments for v2.

You might also reference the ACPI spec in your commit message in v2.
