Also, the "poweroff" command merely halted the machine; I suspect that
this is related to the earlier report of "acpiconf -i 0" failing to
provide battery information on a different (HP?) laptop.

The only change in ACPI I see from yesterday is:

acpi_ec(4): Do not probe "successfully" if an error occurred

All of the 'goto out;' cases in this probe routine without explicit
initialization of 'ret' indicate error cases and were clearly intended
to use the initial definition of 'ret' with ENXIO.  However, 'ret' was
accidentally squashed by reuse for a subroutine call near the beginning
of probe.

Use a different variable for the subroutine status to preserve ENXIO ret
for the 'goto out's as a minimal solution to the panic reported at attach
for now.

PR:     245757

(a change to /usr/src/sys/dev/acpica/acpi_ec.c).

Peace,

Trump criticizing others for being "rude and nasty" is funny -- and pathetic.
