The _DDC method should return a buffer, or an integer in case of an error. But some Lenovo laptops incorrectly return EDID as buffer in ACPI package.
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) }
