From: Rafael J. Wysocki <rafael.j.wysocki@xxxxxxxxx>
Subject: ACPI / utils: Drop error messages from acpi_evaluate_reference()

Some of the error messages printed by acpi_evaluate_reference()
with the KERN_ERR priority should really be debug messages, but then
they would be redundant, because acpi_util_eval_error() is called
too at the same spots (except for one).

Drop the kernel messages from there entirely and leave the
acpi_util_eval_error() to take care of the debug printing.  In one case,
replace the kernel message with a call to acpi_util_eval_error().
