To reiterate there are two components to this issue:

1) the kernel is now producing this new WARNING: message related to chipset support for EEC where it is not enabled in the BIOS. For machines which do not have EEC at all there may not even be a BIOS option to enable it. The message itself mearly indicates that the feature is present in the chipset but not enabled; a normal situation.

2) kerneloops is falsly reporting this WARNING: message as if it was a WARN_ON; which it is not. Kerneloops needs to be fixed to more accuratly detect the correct WARN_ON output.

As is normal after release kerneloops itself is now disabled so although it might falsely trigger it will no longer trigger these errors. Kerneloops itself still needs to be fixed and as such that task remains open. The kernel is working as designed and therefore I will close it off Invalid as there is no kernel fault.
