ASUS motherboards are known to have broken ACPI code so this isn't too
suprising.

This appears to be trying to get resource information for uart #2 (sio1).
Since that port probes OK anyway its likely harmless.

If you want to try to clear these up, try a BIOS update first (if
available), then look for a replacement DSDT table. You can use the loader
options described in acpi(4) to load the fixed table.
