Behan took a patch that I did earlier and split it up to add descriptions.
The patch is correct, but he either misunderstood or misexpressed the
intention.

This driver has two identical lines that both say 

MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(pci, be_dev_ids);

I don't remember the exact symptom, but llvm/clang trips over this, while gcc
silently ignores the second one.
