Can we at least print out the ACPI device path and address here for
debugging purposes?  IMHO, kernel messages that contain only static
text are always dubious.  There's almost always a useful address, IRQ,
return value, etc., that could be included.

This all seems sort of ad hoc.  Are UARTs the only things that can be
listed in STAO?  If STAO can contain things other than UARTs, are we
going to see more patches adding special-case code like this?
