There are a few laptops supported by alienware-wmi that definitely have
both (including mine). The acer-wmi and the samsung-galaxybook drivers
also probe for available choices dynamically, so some of those devices
may be affected by this too.
So yes, we shouldn't fail registration here.
Anyway, I like this approach more than v1. What do you think about
constraining this fix to the legacy interface?
