57 *
58 * This module attempts to repair or convert objects returned by the
59 * predefined methods to an object type that is expected, as per the ACPI
60 * specification. The need for this code is dictated by the many machines that
61 * return incorrect types for the standard predefined methods. Performing these
62 * conversions here, in one place, eliminates the need for individual ACPI
63 * device drivers to do the same. Note: Most of these conversions are different
64 * than the internal object conversion routines used for implicit object
65 * conversion.
66 *
67 * The following conversions can be performed as necessary:
68 *
69 * Integer -> String
70 * Integer -> Buffer
71 * String -> Integer
72 * String -> Buffer
73 * Buffer -> Integer
74 * Buffer -> String
75 * Buffer -> Package of Integers
76 * Package -> Package of one Package
77 *
78 * Additional possible repairs:
79 *
80 * Required package elements that are NULL replaced by Integer/String/Buffer
81 * Incorrect standalone package wrapped with required outer package

757 * a variable-length Package of Packages. If the variable-length
758 * is one, some BIOS code mistakenly simply declares a single
759 * Package instead of a Package with one sub-Package. This
760 * function attempts to repair this error by wrapping a Package
761 * object around the original Package, creating the correct
762 * Package with one sub-Package.
763 *
764 * Names that can be repaired in this manner include:
765 * _ALR, _CSD, _HPX, _MLS, _PRT, _PSS, _TRT, TSS
