Can you explain to me how you reached this conclusion? When I look at a
DSDT I can usually recognize if it deals with temperatures and fans,
but how do I know if there's a thermal zone or not?

Also, does the absence of thermal zone imply that ACPI isn't running
the methods in question on its own?

Thanks,
