Should be fixed now. It was harmless, given that T-state are not used for

PS. We try keep acpi(4) noisy so that better understanding of the issues can
    be gained. As this area is essentially non-deterministic, you can not
    just look things from a data sheet, but have to additionally think "what
    the BIOS writer meant" and "what would Windows do". Thus the verbose
    error/debug reporting.
