Hello,

I see the following in dmesg. I don't know how report-worthy it is, but anyway:

ACPI: I/O resource 0000:00:1f.3 [0x1c00-0x1c1f] conflicts with ACPI region SMBI
[0x1c00-0x1c0f]
ACPI: Device needs an ACPI driver

This is, from lspci -nnvv:

Your ACPI tables use the smbus controller themselves, so using a native Linux driver could potentially result in race conditions and bizarre failures. If you're not trying to use your smbus controller directly then it's not really an issue.

Well, i2c-i801 is loaded:

i915                   67080  2 
drm                   201328  3 i915
i2c_i801               17820  0 
i2c_core               29216  2 drm,i2c_i801

Should I be worried?

As long as nothing is actually using it, you'll be fine.
