I don't think so - the message was introduced in commit 550ee90ac61c ("net: ti:
icssg-prueth: Add support for PA Stats"), which was then fixed up in commit
9e70eb4a9a8e ("net: ti: icssg-prueth: Make pa_stats optional") to avoid breaking
existing Device Trees. There is no commit that this patch meaningfully "fixes",
and backporting it to stable kernels does not seem necessary to me.

If anything, the message in the driver might be downgraded from "error" to
"warning" in another patch, but I'll leave that decision to you.

Best,
Nora
