My pretty new HP Probook 430 G4 notebook is affected by Bug 191561 and later
shows these errors in the logs. I'm not sure to what component they belong if
they can be ignored or should be fixed:

I'm using pci=noaer to avoid this error but this is probably a different one:

I don't see where WMPV is being called from anywhere within the static ACPI
tables, nor is it called from Linux.

Perhaps it is in a dynamically loaded SSDT (via Load operator).

$ grep -n WMPV *.dsl
dsdt.dsl:3728: Method (WMPV, 3, Serialized)

$ grep -n Load *.dsl
ssdt13.dsl:266: Load (CST0, HC0) /* \_PR_.CPU0.HC0_ */
ssdt13.dsl:274: Load (IST0, HI0) /* \_PR_.CPU0.HI0_ */
ssdt13.dsl:285: Load (HWP0, HW0) /* \_PR_.CPU0.HW0_ */
ssdt13.dsl:289: Load (HWPL, HW2) /* \_PR_.CPU0.HW2_
*/
ssdt13.dsl:376: Load (CST1, HC1) /* \_PR_.CPU1.HC1_ */
ssdt13.dsl:386: Load (IST1, HI1) /* \_PR_.CPU1.HI1_ */
ssdt13.dsl:398: Load (HWP1, HW1) /* \_PR_.CPU1.HW1_ */

I think there is a way to grab the dynamically loaded SSDTs on Linux, but I
don't know how to do it.

Anyway, it looks like somewhere, WMPV is being called with an incorrect
argument, and the runtime typechecking is catching it.

I don't see where WMPV is being called from anywhere within the static ACPI
tables, nor is it called from Linux.

WMPV should have been invoked by OS WMI driver.

Is the typechecking wrong?
Is the OS invocation itself wrong?

Yes, a BIOS bug.

Could be exposed due to some hardware issue that forces a different code path
through the ASL.

I'm seeing the same error messages with HP EliteBook 820 G4. I tracked them
down to CONFIG_HP_WMI (drivers/platform/x86/hp-wmi.c).

So fair enough, the driver may be triggering a BIOS bug, but I guess it's
really an indication that HP has changed their APIs and the driver needs to be
updated. For all intents and purposes, the driver does not work *at all* on
these new HP laptops right now (kernel 4.11).

Andreas, which special keys [do not] work on your system? I'm particularly
interested to hear about Wifi, Volume mute, and Microphone mute (both keys and
lights).

Microphone mute (Fn+f10) doens't work here. Volume mute and Wifi/BT hardware
switch (two extra keys above keyboard) seem to work well. Nothing in the log
when hitting "Mute" or "Mic mute" but Wifi switch gives:

Its functionality seems to work though. I hope this helps.

Let's re-assign this bug to hp-wmi maintainers.
Feel free to re-open it under platform specific hardware.
