Description Andy Lutomirski 2016-05-01 02:22:00 UTC 
It's currently KERN_WARNING.  KERN_WARNING should be used for warnings, not success messages.

I looked at the code, found that it's ACPI_INFO, and then got lost in all the indirection when trying to figure out where KERN_WARNING comes from.
Comment 1 Chen Yu 2016-05-07 08:01:57 UTC 
This is because either ACPI_INFO or ACPI_WARNING actually invoke
printk(KERN_CONT) at last, and the default message level of printk is KERN_WARNING. 
It looks like we might need to change the implementation of ACPI_INFO,ACPI_WARNING,etc to comply with the loglevel context.
