Since both CONFIG_ACPI and CONFIG_CLKSRC_OF can be enabled on ARM64,
we get this device tree warnings even when booting using ACPI which is
not valid. We can use of_have_populated_dt to check if the device tree
is populated or not and avoid spurious warning.

This patch uses of_have_populated_dt to remove this non legitimate device
tree warning when booting using ACPI tables.

Hmm, even if the fix looks correct, it doesn't make sense to put it there.

Why not:
