IAR EWARM 8.22.1 complains about 'cmsis_iar.h'

Question

I am using SDK 14.2 and just upgraded to IAR EWARM 8.22.1. When compiling, it now gives me the following complain for virtually every .c file in my project: 
 Warning: The header file 'cmsis_iar.h' is obsolete and should not be used. 
 A sutiable version is automatically included from the CMSIS-core package. 
 This file will be removed in a future release. 
 
 I tracked down the include statement to this file: components	oolchain\CMSIS\Include\core_cmSimd.h 
 I'm not sure if this is something with my IAR installation or with the SDK.

Try replacing that pragma-message block in the cmsis_iar.h file with this... 
 #if defined(__CM_CMSIS_VERSION) && (__CM_CMSIS_VERSION >= 0x50001)
 #pragma message("
Warning: The header file 'cmsis_iar.h' is obsolete and should not be used.")
 #pragma message(" A suitable version is automatically included from the CMSIS-core package.")
#endif
 
 As part of a recent patch from IAR, this is the only thing that changed in the file.

Ok, I contacted IAR in this matter and their answer was that they will contact you: IAR says: "The correct solution is to remove all occurrences of #include <cmsis_iar.h>." The IAR ticket number about this is CALL 621786s_IAR.
