platform/x86: wmi: Allow duplicate GUIDs for drivers that use struct wmi_driver
The WMI subsystem in the kernel currently tracks WMI devices by
a GUID string not by ACPI device. The GUID used by the `wmi-bmof`
module however is available from many devices on nearly every machine.
This originally was thought to be a bug, but as it happens on most
machines it is a design mistake. It has been fixed by tying an ACPI
device to the driver with struct wmi_driver. So drivers that have
moved over to struct wmi_driver can actually support multiple
instantiations of a GUID without any problem.
Add an allow list into wmi.c for GUIDs that the drivers that are known
to use struct wmi_driver. The list is populated with `wmi-bmof` right
now. The additional instances of that in sysfs with be suffixed with -%d
