Subject: [PATCH 2/9] platform/x86: asus-wmi: don't fail if platform_profile already registered

On some newer laptops it appears that an AMD driver can register a
platform_profile handler. If this happens then the asus_wmi driver would
error with -EEXIST when trying to register its own handler.

We can safely continue loading the driver instead of bombing out.
