As you can see, this Method (_TMP()) always return the value given by
\TEMP, but \TEMP is updated nowhere (grepping \TEMP throughout that
dump reveal there isn't any other reference).
Therefore, the value returned by this method give always 0xaff.

Unfortunately, we can't help you there.  Maybe you may want to check
if by chance any other methods will work (IPMI)?
