Many drivers are broken, and there's no alternative in sight. Such a big
change should stay as a warning for now, and only later should it
actually fail.

The drivers are not doing something correct, we get it, but for now it's
better to allow them to work (they do 99% of the time anyway) rather
than to force everyone to revert this patch in their internal trees
until there's a solution. A slightly broken functionality is better than
no functionality at all.

A warning lets people know that what they are doing is not right, and
they should fix it.
