platform/x86: wmi: Allow duplicate GUIDs for drivers that use struct wmi_driver
The WMI subsystem in the kernel currently tracks WMI devices by a GUID string not by ACPI device. The GUID used by the `wmi-bmof` module however is available from many devices on nearly every machine. This originally was thought to be a bug, but as it happens on most machines it is a design mistake. It has been fixed by tying an ACPI device to the driver with struct wmi_driver. So drivers that have moved over to struct wmi_driver can actually support multiple instantiations of a GUID without any problem. Add an allow list into wmi.c for GUIDs that the drivers that are known to use struct wmi_driver. The list is populated with `wmi-bmof` right now. The additional instances of that in sysfs with be suffixed with -%d Signed-off-by: Mario Limonciello <mario.limonciello@amd.com> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20220829201500.6341-1-mario.limonciello@amd.comReviewed-by: Hans de Goede <hdegoede@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Hans de Goede <hdegoede@redhat.com>
