Bug Description
fwts checks whether _STR's output is a string but this is not correct. According to ACPI, _STR's return needs to be "A Buffer containing a Unicode string that describes the device". This is usually used with Unicode that "converts an ASCII string to a Unicode string contained in a buffer".
