Mentioning the BIOS is to tell user what firmware is broken, so that
user can report this to their vendor by referring the specific firmware.

It seems we can specific the node through different ways(DT, ACPI, etc).

Is there a better name for mentioning instead of BIOS, or we should do
the checking and warning in the architeture dependent code?

Or maybe just remove the BIOS from the above log?

Thanks.
