Re: git: 052a791b0055 - main - acpi: add Darwin OSI quirk for Apple Mac hardware

I agree that this should not be permanent verbosity.

The aim was not to add long-term noise, but to make the behavior observable/greppable to reviewers while this logic is still being validated across a wide range of Apple models.

I'm going to get few Apple devices to try on. Once we confirm that every model behave the same, we could totally remove verbosity and treating it as assumed-working code.
