Sorry for not describing this problem clear, this would also occur on
Intel platforms as long as that device we are calling this register
function on does not have any power resource attached to it.

So the problem is actually, does the acpi_power_resource_register_device
function expect such input devices that they do not have any power
resource attached? If yes, then it shouldn't complain with a warning
message; if no, then we should probably check these conditions before
making such a call.

Looking at the function itself, I think it expects such devices so a
warning message here is not appropriate.
