More reports:

 https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=38782 (includes DSDT fix)

Dell doesn't take emailed reports re the Inspiron 1090 BIOS so
Giovanni Biscuolo (cc-ed) reported it to

 http://en.community.dell.com/support-forums/laptop/f/3518/t/19439525.aspx

I wonder:

 - could Linux diagnose the duplicate ACAD in a more helpful way?
 - is it possible to work around, for example by letting the last AC
   adaptor win on the Inspiron 1090?
 - what does Windows do?

Hope that helps,
Jonathan
