This is not the right commit that is related to your issue.
This commit only removes the old facility, it is harmless.
Actually the facility is enabled by default in this commit:
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/rafael/linux-pm.git/commit/?h=linux-next&id=cd52379678785b02d7a357988cfba214fdaf92f4

commit cd52379678785b02d7a357988cfba214fdaf92f4
Subject: ACPICA: Add global option to disable method auto-serialization.

This change adds an option to disable the auto-serialization of
methods that create named objects.

And the commit you are talking about just re-used the kernel parameter in order to add an option to disable the new facility.

We are not sure if this is the Windows behavior.
And we have a discussion at:
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=52191
Such error messages are useful to improve the facility or force us to change our mind.

Thanks and best regards
