Hello Grant,

You can reproduce this by adding initcall_debug to your kernel
parameters. I'm encountering this situation on an MPC85xx board, but
from looking at the code that seems irrelevant as add_pcspkr() will get
executed anyway. True, "pnpPNP,100" is looked after before the platform
code runs and it will fail if it can't find "pnpPNP,100", but the error
message will show up. As mentioned below, this saves some memory and a
few boot-up CPU cycles...

PCSPKR_PLATFORM is an option in init/Kconfig:

        ...
config PCSPKR_PLATFORM
        bool "Enable PC-Speaker support" if EMBEDDED
        depends on ALPHA || X86 || MIPS || PPC_PREP || PPC_CHRP ||
PPC_PSERIES
        default y
        help
          This option allows to disable the internal PC-Speaker
          support, saving some memory.
        ...


Cheers,
Emil.
