This is a warning saying that the firmware description for the system is
incomplete in case things go wrong later - it is vanishingly unlikely
that these devices actually do not require supplies, we'd probably have
heard about it if they did.  If a supply is not described properly we
may for example decide to power off what we think is an unused supply
with bad results.
