did you happen to get a crash dump from this panic?

it might be helpful to see what the ACPI error messages are.
if they only happen during powerdown and you can't manage to snap a picture
at the right moment, then if your camera can also record videos then you
could try getting the information in movie format instead of picture format.

can you boot a 6.0 kernel and see if the error messages also show up with
that version?  if they do then that would rule out any of my recent changes.
