[PATCH] x86, lpc, Allow only one load of lpc_ich

Please use $SUBJECT format corresponding to the subsystem.

This is not an X86 patch, it's an MFD one.

I would expecte to see something along the lines of:

mfd: lpc_ich: Prevent LCP devices from probing twice

Why is it a problem for 2 of these devices to exist on a single system?

Shouldn't the driver just be able to handle 2 devices?

Why have you globalised this?

Did you run this patch through checkpatch.pl?

You print a warning, but return an error here. One of them is wrong.

But why is it a problem for two of these devices to exist anyway?
