After disabling that and rebooting six times, no sign of the warning. (That's not conclusive) (And I hadn't realized that DELL_LAPTOP != DCDBAS).

Sorry this was mis-assigned, hence the delay. We're long past 3.16.6. Do you know if its still an issue with 3.18.8?
(In reply to Anthony Basile from comment #3) > We're long past 3.16.6. Do you know if its still an issue with 3.18.8? Whoops. Sorry, I don't know. Unfortunately I won't have a chance to check until the weekend. If that's acceptable I will schedule downtime for then and will follow up with my findings. Thank you for checking.
Cannot reproduce on 3.18.7-gentoo. Closing as OBSOLETE, hope that's the right thing to do. Thanks again for your attention.
