This was also reported as appearing on Lenovo ThinkPad T14 gen 4
running Linux 6.10.  I searched for the warning on lore.kernel.org and
found that it also appeared on:

- Dell XPS 13 9360/0596KF, Linux 6.9-6.11
- Intel NUC12WSHi7/NUC12WSBi7, Linux 6.11
- Lenovo IdeaPad 82MG, Linux 6.1
- Lenovo ThinkPad T480, Linux 6.10
- System76 Pangolin, Linux 6.11

Is this likely to be a bug in the driver, or in the firmware?  If this
is a common case where the HPET isn't available and has an incomplete
description in the ACPI table, should the warning message be downgraded
to info level?
