Yes, that's an omission - ACPI hasn't seen as much churn recently as<br>
it did for a while, but the underlying problems with iasl's lack of<br>

<div class="PlainText">[Nhi] Yes, I would be willing to take a look at this as a different topic. At this moment, it appears that only version 20200110 would work with our code,so we will need to state so specifically in our README.md.<br>
