Lets only print an error if something is wrong with the
the given table/etc. The ACPI table list printed at boot
will continue to provide a way to detect when the table
is missing.

acpi_table_parse() will return errno -ENODEV and -EINVAL, and only
returns -EINVAL if the table id or the handler is NULL, which is
impossible here.

Right because it doesn't actually return the handler failures.

So the error message below will never be printed, I would
prefer update the pr_err() to pr_dbg() for optional ACPI
table.

Sure, that is a fine plan too.




          pr_err("Failed to parse MCFG (%d)\n", err);
  }

Thanks
