Hi heot,

The warning reported in the attached OopsText.txt log appears to have been resolved with a patch from upstream. A test kernel containing the patch has been posted to bug 442966. As a result I'm marking this as a duplicate to bug 442966. Please continue to track this issue at that report and report any testing feedback there. If you reported an issue that is unrelated to this warning, please open a new bug. Thanks!
