Right, I have a V2 patch series, which will be post soon.
Thanks, rui

If you think this OK, I'll submit it.
Actually the input value itself is correct, the problem is rather about the max_states that may vary depending on other driver. So IMO, we don't want to refuse the input completely.
Please see the thread: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-acpi/s5h5zeiwd01.wl-tiwai@suse.de/
