will do.

IMO, the new approach is better and is more specific. The error messages
are firmware specific. The previous message included missing compat string
for instance doesn't exist on ACPI firmware and ACPI HID also doesn't exist
on DT firmware. 

I'd rather be verbose rather than a simple probe failed message.

Let me explain the rationale.

As you know, there can be two kernel build combinations. One build where 
ACPI is not selected in Kconfig and another one with the ACPI Kconfig.

In the first case, CONFIG_ACPI is stubbed out in this file and DT user
will not see any kind of messages from ACPI. 

In the second case, both DT and ACPI is compiled in but the system is booting with
any of these combinations. 

If the firmware is DT type, then acpi_disabled is 1. The ACPI probe routine
terminates immediately without any messages. 

If the firmware is ACPI type, then acpi_disabled is 0. All other checks are valid
checks. We cannot claim that this system is DT.
