This wont work for Dell. Same (or similar) errors on Precision 5510 (and a few
more as they use a loot of methods and fields which are undefined anywhere)

I already fight few months with several levels of Dell employees and final
result was only final comment:

========
At this time BIOS team has confirmed that these errors do not impact device or
OS functionality, that the presence of these errors in logs is due to the
change in logging policy set in the linux kernel, that the acpi functions
causing errors to be seen are part of the dell proprietary power management
interface, and that kernel support of these calls is not needed. To-date this
appears to be working as designed and the logs are an expected function of
kernel logging behavior and firmware design.

Any further investigation would have to be based exclusively on the evidence of
reproducible OS or hardware symptoms and or failures.

After that they stop respondingo to e-mails at all ;(
