Correct.

Probably the fact that the first argument of the macro is a conditional
expression ("fext" is functionally equivalent to "fext != NULL" in this
case). In other words, the warning will only ever be issued if
acpi_fujitsu_laptop_add() is called at least twice - note the assignment
on the line following WARN_ONCE().
