Subject: [PATCH] platform/x86: acer-wmi: Silence "unsupported" message  a bit

This driver prints that "Unsupported machine..." message on every boot on
ThinkPad X1 Carbon laptops (and I assume a number of other systems), which
causes graphical boots to "glitch" a bit and is rather annoying ...

Make it a pr_debug instead.
