Well, interesting. :-)

I wonder what we're supposed to do with things like that?
It looks like our patch [3/3] will use the last one found, but is that
correct?  Should it use the first one instead, perhaps?

That little conundrum aside, the observations above seem to indicate
that we'd need a list of "serial" resources per struct acpi_device too.
