[PATCH][V2] acpi: method: allow _WAK to return an integer

Linux kernel allows _WAK to return an integer, as in acpica/acpredef.h.
The reason seems to be that so many system BIOS returns an integer
instead of a package defined in ACPI spec, and it becomes a strange
standard already. Since operating system allows the integer, it should
be appropriate for fwts to relax it as well.
