There is good luck then that the EC0 is implemented in a SSDT table,
not in the DSDT table.

Note that system sleep states are still developpement stuff (even
though that seems to be more and more stable), so your problem may be
not related to DSDT.  Speaking for myself, I don't care yet for bug reports
about hacking DSDT in order to get Sx states transition support.

Sometimes iasl report 'false positive' for that, but sometime this
may be a real problem.
