[PATCH] data: cater for _PTS not existing

From: Colin Ian King <colin.king at canonical.com>

Sometimes _PTS is not implemented and the kernel complains.  It appears
it is a control that helps the firmware do housekeeping before suspend
and for some firmware it is not implemented because it does not need
_PTS. Cater for this by adding some suitable advice and marking this
as not a high level error.

Hence _PTS is provided for the firmware to do housekeeping and therefore does not appear to be mandatory.  In this case, the platform seems to have omitted _PTS because it may not need it.  Unfortunately the kernel complains about this not existing. This is most probably not an error.",
