ACPI: I/O resource 0000:00:1f.3 [0xefa0-0xefbf] conflicts with ACPI region SMBI [0xefa0-0xefaf]

Any suggestions on what this might be:
(dmesg):

[    6.940280] power_supply ADP1: 1 dynamic props
[    6.940283] power_supply ADP1: prop ONLINE=1

[    7.027094] ath9k 0000:03:00.0: setting latency timer to 64

either i801_smbus(to me) is the issue, or it's something else.

any ideas?

It means the i801_smbus driver is using an I/O resource range that BIOS 
ACPI code may be using. The warning is there because in some cases this 
can cause problems, i.e. if the native driver and ACPI AML code try to 
access the device at the same time in a conflicting fashion.
