The whole point of this patch (series) was to find
a way to discover "real" errors in some cases (not in all).
What you suggested above removes the only "discoverable error"
and returns us to warning only mode.

However, the code does not look into stdout/stderr for iasl
errors (it would involve parsing because iasl *always* writes
to both), but checks if the invocation of iasl command terminates successfully,
merely saying: "Well, iasl invocation succeeded  for the expected files, there
is no reason to fail for the actual ones". The actual output is not verified.

No impact on "out of sync expected files".

Thanks,
Marcel
