I have started seeing the following on boot since some time:

acpi_wmi0: <ACPI-WMI mapping> on acpi0
acpi_wmi0: cannot find EC device
device_attach: acpi_wmi0 attach returned 6
acpi_wmi0: <ACPI-WMI mapping> on acpi0
acpi_wmi0: cannot find EC device
device_attach: acpi_wmi0 attach returned 6
acpi_wmi0: <ACPI-WMI mapping> on acpi0
acpi_wmi0: cannot find EC device
device_attach: acpi_wmi0 attach returned 6
acpi_wmi0: <ACPI-WMI mapping> on acpi0
acpi_wmi0: cannot find EC device
device_attach: acpi_wmi0 attach returned 6

Likely following this commit:

    acpi_wmi(4): Add ACPI_PNP_INFO

While the reason is obvious -- there's no EC in this system (Gigabyte X299X AORUS MASTER desktop motherboard), at least searching the `acpidump -dt` output doesn't show any PNP0C09 entries -- it certainly looks like "something is broken" when first noticed.  I wonder if we could/should handle this gracefully -- no EC, do nothing, simply exit?
