register_hotplug_dock_device() must only be called once per ACPI handle. However, ACPI glue infrastructure does not allow to prevent multiple find_device() invocations when a scsi bus or device appears or disappears. So export a function from the dock driver to check if a specific hotplug dock device is already registered and call this before registering.
