Len, this is the patch with describtion, please check and apply.

Executing _OSC returns a buffer, which has an acpi object in it.
Don't directly returns the buffer, instead, we return the acpi object's
buffer. This fixes a regression since caller of acpi_run_osc expects
an acpi object's buffer returned.
