Somewhat offtopic question, how do you plan to handle the case where
there are 2 WMI GUIDs for what really is a single "thing",
specifically one main WMI GUID for a vendor specific interface
for say the embedded-controller and a separate GUID for events ?

IIRC we have several such cases. I thought we even have a case
where the main WMI GUID already is bound to using wmi_bus wmi_driver,
while the event guid is listened to by using wmi_install_notify_handler()
but I cannot find the code doing this, so I might be mistaken on this.

Regards,

Hans
