Many older WMI drivers cannot be instantiated multiple times for
two reasons:

- they are using the legacy GUID-based WMI API
- they are singletons (with global state)

Prevent such WMI drivers from binding to WMI devices with a duplicated
GUID, as this would mean that the WMI driver will be instantiated at
least two times (one for the original GUID and one for the duplicated
GUID).
WMI drivers which can be instantiated multiple times can signal this
by setting a flag inside struct wmi_driver.
What do you think about opposite direction? Adding ".singleton = true"
into every driver which is not compatible with duplicated initialization
and having the default value that drivers are not singletons.

But if the direction it to not accept new "legacy" drivers and start get
rid of all "legacy" drivers by rewriting them, then it does not matter
if "no_singleton" or "is_singleton" is used...

Hi,

i want to make sure that i wont forget any legacy WMI drivers. This way, the
older legacy WMI drivers automatically initialize no_singleton with false.

Also i intent to not accept new legacy WMI drivers.

Thanks,
Armin Wolf

Tested on a ASUS Prime B650-Plus.
