Subject: Re: [PATCH] x86, lpc, Allow only one load of lpc_ich
[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?

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?
