It always produces the following warnings during startup

ACPI Warning: \_SB.PCI0.GFX0._DSM: Argument #4 type mismatch - Found [Buffer], ACPI requires [Package] (20160831/nsarguments-95)
ACPI Warning: \_SB.PCI0.PEG0.PEGP._DSM: Argument #4 type mismatch - Found [Buffer], ACPI requires [Package] (20160831/nsarguments-95)
ACPI Warning: \_SB.PCI0.PEG0.PEGP._DSM: Argument #4 type mismatch - Found [Buffer], ACPI requires [Package] (20160831/nsarguments-95)

for all the kernel versions I have used/tested

4.8.15-300.fc25.x86_64
4.9.0+
4.9.0-rc4+
4.9.0-rc5+
4.9.0-rc8+
4.9.11-200.fc25.x86_64
4.9.13-200.fc25.x86_64
4.9.13-201.fc25.x86_64
4.9.14
4.9.14-200.fc25.x86_64
4.9.5-200.fc25.x86_64
4.9.6-200.fc25.x86_64
4.9.8-201.fc25.x86_64
4.9.9-200.fc25.x86_64
4.10.0-rc5+
4.10.5-200.fc25.x86_64
4.10.6-200.fc25.x86_64

The "examples/turn_off_gpu.sh" script (previously test_off.sh) from
https://github.com/mkottman/acpi_call returns "failed" for all cases,
but the kernel logs "kernel: acpi_call: Cannot get handle: Error:
AE_NOT_FOUND" for all cases, so probably the acpi_call kernel module is
outdated (not updated since 2013).

Bug description:
  This is for people with a hybrid graphics configuration to be able to
  submit the DSDT information: This includes nVidia Optimus and AMD
  Hybrid Graphics.

  To gather information about the laptop model, install dmidecode. For the DSDT/SSDT
  files, install the acpidump and iasl tools:

      sudo apt-get install acpidump iasl dmidecode

  or (on Fedora):

      sudo yum install pmtools iasl dmidecode

  Then use the script from http://lekensteyn.nl/files/get-acpi-info.sh to create the
  tarball containing information about the laptop model, PCI hardware and ACPI tables.
  To do so, run the following commands in a terminal:

  
      wget http://lekensteyn.nl/files/get-acpi-info.sh
      sh get-acpi-info.sh

  This will create a tar.gz file that you can attach to the bug report. In the comment
  itself, please include a link to the product page of the model (if available).

  This information will allow the full development of hybrid graphics
  features for Linux. Thanks for your help!
