No concerns from me.

I guess this only adds a message, right? It doesn't actually fix
anything or change any behavior?

This talks about "duplicate" entries, which suggests to me that they
are identical, but I don't think they are. It sounds like it's two
"matching" entries, i.e., two entries for the same (device, pin)?

And neither of the two _PRT entries yields a working i801 device?
