Subject: ACPI: WMI: Survive BIOS with duplicate GUIDs
X-Git-Url: http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux%2Fkernel%2Fgit%2Ftorvalds%2Flinux-2.6.git;a=commitdiff_plain;h=d1f9e4970742bb1e22d07b01bd44f9c357d25c42
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).
