Sure Palmer. This works to resolve the warning but I was bit hesitant to
do this because it appeared only part of the driver code depend on
ACPI/DMI. So, I was not sure adding a dependency would disable the
driver on non-ACPI platforms. Anyway, let me send the patch and see
whether driver maintainer would be okay.

Thanks!
