Don't show error if Acer WMI extensions are not found.

Currently acer-wmi.c complains in "error mode" when it can't find any hardware. It is not silenced by the 'quiet' kernel parameter.

Other WMI drivers do not complain in "error mode" and _are_ silenced by 'quiet'.

The attached patch lowers the message level with which acer-wmi.c outputs it's hardware not found message.

Please don't send patches via bugzilla - it causes lots of problems with
our usual patch management and review processes.

Please send this patch via email as per Documentation/SubmittingPatches. 
Suitable recipients may be found via scripts/get_maintainer.pl.  Please
also cc myself on the email.

Thanks.

Hi Pascal, 

Looks like your patch didn't merge by Matthew.
Are you mind git poll newest platform driver tree then submit patch again?
