Ben,

Can you confirm this warning is harmless ?

Yes. I had a look (and had to swap in some historical brain cells from tape
storage :-) But I think the warning should probably be turned into a dev_dbg.
It's probably some gunk in the device-tree but those "cereal" nodes don't
matter (I don't remember what they represent but it's not something we care
about).

I've just updated to 5.10.27-gentoo on some old iBook G4, and of course I've
spotted this `i2c-powermac: modalias failure on
/uni-n@f8000000/i2c@f8001000/cereal@1c0` message. It is not worrying now after
I've found Ben's comment. I've also spotted one more error message (Flag
mismatch) that seems new to me, can you also make a judgement if it is also
harmless?:
