FAILED [HIGH] DMIStringIndexOutOfRange: Test 1, Out of range string
index 0x06 while accessing entry 'Portable Battery (Type 22)' @
0x000e728b, field 'Device Chemistry', offset 0x09

This is a real failure but kernel will ignore the information as
suggested in fwts.

"ADVICE: DMI strings are stored in a manner that uses a special index to
fetch the Nth string from the data. For this particular DMI string the
index given is not in range which means this particular entry is broken.
The Linux kernel does not use this string, so this error will not cause
any system errors."

The information is also available in ACPI's _BIF/_BIX which are read by
kernel (ex. "cat /proc/acpi/battery/BAT0/info"). Failing to read
chemistry from DMI has nothing to worry about.
