Thanks for reporting this issue about the warning and a proposed fix, and thanks Christian for linking the upstream fix.
As plucky is past final freeze, this will need to wait to next cycle. And since the issue is a warning in a log, I doubt this will qualify for an SRU on its own (but could piggyback on another SRU for smartmontools if one appears). I'll add it to the server team's backlog but it is possible we'll just wait for when the next release of smartmontools is available to merge.
That said, if you'd like to try your hand at packaging the patch, we can provide advice on the process for getting it landed.
