I do think the driver should care about duplicate UID, but only if
"version, base, or length" mismatch. If the BIOS gives us ambiguous
answers about where the registers are located, the user should be
warned that the driver might be picking the "wrong" one by accident.
If they are identical, the BIOS is being repetitive, but no real harm
that the driver would care about. A dev_warn_once() sounds good as the
first duplicate should be sufficient to say something fishy is afoot,
but it's not an error. The warn_once will also re-trigger when / if
the module is reloaded.
