This is not a problem.

An "LPC bridge" is a specific kind of PCI-ISA bridge; LPC is a serial 
interconnect
from to a super-I/O chip.  For our purposes, you can replace "LPC" with "ISA".

When you say "LPC device", you mean an ISA device under the LPC bridge?
If so, the answer is "no".  Devices under the ISA bridge are just ISA
devices, and appear in the Solaris devinfo tree under /isa in the output
of prtconf.  Since ISA devices are not self-identifying and Solaris does
not probe for them (starting with S10 1/06), the system ACPI BIOS
must contain entries for each ISA device, or you must provide a .conf
file for an ISA device.

First of all, look in the output of 'prtconf' under the /isa parent;
do you see the ISA device you're looking for?
