Repair a common problem with objects that are defined to return
a variable-length Package of sub-objects. If there is only one
sub-object, some BIOS code mistakenly simply declares the single
object instead of a Package with one sub-object. This function
attempts to repair this error by wrapping a Package object around
the original object, creating the correct and expected Package
with one sub-object.

We can only sort the _TSS return package if there is no _PSS
in the same scope. This is because if _PSS is present, the ACPI
specification dictates that the _TSS Power Dissipation field is
to be ignored, and therefore some BIOSs leave garbage values in
the _TSS Power field(s). In this case, it is best to just return
the _TSS package as-is.

For the predefined methods that return fixed-length packages
(or subpackages), attempt repair for a NULL element. Create an
Integer of value 0, a NULL String, or a zero-length buffer as
appropriate.

This change will automatically remove embedded and trailing NULL
package elements from returned package objects that are defined
to containe a variable number of sub-packages. The driver is then
presented with a package with no null elements to deal with.

the BIOS code occasionally creates a simple single package with
