so you are using a driver meant for stable (old) systems, with a pre
release kernel - and you don't even know what do do with that message?

Does that do no seem a bit silly? hm?

acpi_bus_get_device is gpl only. You can undo that. If you want.

But seriously, what is wrong with using stable releases like 3.10.x? If
you use ati-drivers, you don't need the amd driver improvements in 3.11
or 3.12.
