ACPI: WMI: Survive BIOS with duplicate GUIDs

Browse Source 
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).

Some WMI devices, like those for nVidia hooks, have a

Anyone who wants to add support for that device can come
up with a better workaround for the mess then.
