ACPI: WMI: Survive BIOS with duplicate GUIDs
It would appear that in BIOS's with nVidia hooks, the GUID 05901221-D566-11D1-B2F0-00A0C9062910 is duplicated. For now, the simplest solution is to just ignore any duplicate GUIDs. These particular hooks are not currently supported/ used in the kernel, so whoever does that can figure out what the 'right' solution should be (if there's a better one). http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14846 Signed-off-by: Carlos Corbacho <carlos@strangeworlds.co.uk> Reported-by: Larry Finger <Larry.Finger@lwfinger.net> Reported-by: Oldřich Jedlička <oldium.pro@seznam.cz> Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com>
