do you mean this one:

this isnt an oops, it is essentially just a warning. I am too getting this a couple of times during bootup when using the serial console.
irqd changes timings and apparently in this case the serial IRQ line gets deregistered for some amount of time while the hw still produces an interrupt. (it might also be an irqd bug, but all seems to be functional and i have no problems using the serial console.)
so unless you see some instability later on (or see a large flood of such messages), you can disregard this warning.
