Yes, we were returning -EIO for all error codes, with this patch we are at
least informing userspace that such feature is not supported with
-ENODEV instead of just returnning -EIO all the time.
With the pr_ message we are informing that an ACPI error happened,
which might (or might not) be the drivers fault, and this will be
on par with the rest of the HCI/SCI functions of the driver.

Ok, I spotted a few "issues" on the latter patches, I'll wait for your comments
and send a v2 afterwards with an expanded commit message.
