It seems that here is conflict with your device.hints, try to remove fdc
from the hints.

As I already write, it is very bad thing that ACPI is in conflicts with
default hints file correctly describing devices used. ACPI must ignore
duplicate devices from the hints.

The problem with floppy is harder, because floppy controller present in
ACPI but the floppy itself not present (on my motherboard at least), so
in current situation fdc0 must not be in hints, but fd0 must be, it makes
whole thing even more cryptic.
