Correct.

Not correct.  I will extend the number of arguments passed to the method
instead.  But this method is never called, so I wont mind a lot.
that is:

I don't know.  But this method (CHBP()) where those errors happens
is never called, so I won't mind a lot.  And if really I would
need to overwritte this dsdt, I would comment this method.
