There are errors in three tests: klog, method and mpcheck.
mpcheck tests multi CPUs but this is an old spec which is replaced by
ACPI's MADT table if it is available. Analysis shows APIC/MADT table is
available on this system, and therefore it is safe to ignore. In fact, I
didn't know mpcheck is still part of certificate.
method test shows a number of errors in _PLD methods. These methods
return a value and it is not clear why acpica (kernel upstream)
generates errors as BIOS returns value indeed. However, _PLD methods are
used to get "a general description of the physical location of a
device’s external connection point." For example, where XHC connectors
are in front, back, right or right side of the case. There is no harm if
it fails.
klog test shows Gpe0Block is too long but it is zero that kernel
truncated. As this should be fixed in BIOS but it is also safe to
ignore.
