Subject: WARNING at drivers/acpi/platform_profile.c:74 in
 platform_profile_show()

Hi,

according to logs, since 6.3 (up to 6.5.4 now), I repeatedly see:

It's:
WARN_ON((profile < 0) || (profile >= ARRAY_SIZE(profile_names))))

So I put there one more print:
dev_warn(dev, "profile=%d profile_get=%ps\n",
          profile, cur_profile->profile_get);

and I see:
: profile=-1883022368 profile_get=dytc_profile_get [thinkpad_acpi]
: profile=-1510173440 profile_get=dytc_profile_get [thinkpad_acpi]
: profile=-1510173440 profile_get=dytc_profile_get [thinkpad_acpi]
: profile=-966231712 profile_get=dytc_profile_get [thinkpad_acpi]
: profile=-1578420592 profile_get=dytc_profile_get [thinkpad_acpi]
: profile=-1578420592 profile_get=dytc_profile_get [thinkpad_acpi]
: profile=-1578420592 profile_get=dytc_profile_get [thinkpad_acpi]

where the profile values in hex are like:
ffffffff8fc35be0
ffffffffa5fc9500
ffffffffc6687960

Looking at simplicity of dytc_profile_get(), I wonder how that can happen.

I also wonder about dev passed to dytc_profile_get() having empty name 
(nothing before colon above)? Is that expected?

Any ideas?

thanks,
