[ Upstream commit 7b91f1565fbfbe5a162d91f8a1f6c5580c2fc1d0 ]
On the ASUS laptop UX325JA/UX425JA, most of the media keys are not
working due to the ASUS WMI driver fails to be loaded. The ACPI error
as follows leads to the failure of asus_wmi_evaluate_method.
ACPI BIOS Error (bug): AE_AML_BUFFER_LIMIT, Field [IIA3] at bit offset/length 96/32 exceeds size of target Buffer (96 bits) (20200326/dsopcode-203)
No Local Variables are initialized for Method [WMNB]
ACPI Error: Aborting method \_SB.ATKD.WMNB due to previous error (AE_AML_BUFFER_LIMIT) (20200326/psparse-531)
The DSDT for the WMNB part shows that 5 DWORD required for local
variables and the 3rd variable IIA3 hit the buffer limit.
Method (WMNB, 3, Serialized)
{ ..
CreateDWordField (Arg2, Zero, IIA0)
CreateDWordField (Arg2, 0x04, IIA1)
CreateDWordField (Arg2, 0x08, IIA2)
CreateDWordField (Arg2, 0x0C, IIA3)
CreateDWordField (Arg2, 0x10, IIA4)
Local0 = (Arg1 & 0xFFFFFFFF)
If ((Local0 == 0x54494E49))
..
}
The limitation is determined by the input acpi_buffer size passed
to the wmi_evaluate_method. Since the struct bios_args is the data
structure used as input buffer by default for all ASUS WMI calls,
the size needs to be expanded to fix the problem.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
