Since I have upgraded to linux-image-5.18.0-0.bpo.1-amd64 kernel I see that
there are some ACPI errors reported by journalctl at boot time:

# journalctl -r --system -p 3 --grep ACPI
jun 29 06:43:35 hostname kernel: ACPI Error: Aborting method \_SB.WMID.WMAA due
to previous error (AE_AML_BUFFER_LIMIT) (20211217/psparse-529)
jun 29 06:43:35 hostname kernel: ACPI Error: Aborting method \HWMC due to
previous error (AE_AML_BUFFER_LIMIT) (20211217/psparse-529)
jun 29 06:43:35 hostname kernel: ACPI BIOS Error (bug): AE_AML_BUFFER_LIMIT,
Field [D008] at bit offset/length 128/8 exceeds size of target Buffer (128
bits) (20211217/dsopcode-198)

This is repeated 7 times during startup. It seems that this has been reported
in the kernel:
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=201981
And it is suggested there that distributions include the following patches:

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=dc6a6ab58379f25bf991d8e4a13b001ed806e881

I am not sure whether it is related, but also since the kernel upgrade I can
see that my laptop fan is spinning more often than before. The first commit
mentions something about broken power profiles, so maybe that's what causes the
laptop to heat more often.

It would be great if those patches are included in the 5.18 kernel shipped in
bullseye backported kernel (and eventually in the upcoming bookworm)

Control: fixed -1 linux/5.18.5-1

Those patches are included upstream in v5.18.4, so marking it fixed with the
first upload with those patches to the Debian archives.

Not sure if that fully resolves the issue. If it does, please report so so we
can close this bug

Thank you for your answer.

Is there a way to install that version 5.18.5-1 in bullseye?
