Yeah, I Acked it but the questions raised by Daniel are very valid and must be
answered.

I understand that you only cared about fixing the warning, but maybe we need to
fix the driver and the warning will go away by itself. If you don't want to do
it, then someone who is responsible for the driver should do it.

Was it the acpi_video.c driver that you got the warning from ? I have added
Rafael to the email in case that driver needs getting fixed.
