As mentioned in my other email this is a known issue, and your effort
to fix this is appreciated very much, but I don't believe your solution
to be the right one.

See: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-acpi/42a5f2c9-a1dc-8fc0-7334-fe6c390ecfbb@redhat.com/
for more details and possible solutions. Please try implementing one of
those solutions for your Chromebook. I unfortunately do not have hw to
test this myself.

Regards,

Hans
