platform/x86: wmi: Do not instantiate older WMI drivers multiple times
Many older WMI drivers cannot be instantiated multiple times for two reasons: - they are using the legacy GUID-based WMI API - they are singletons (with global state) Prevent such WMI drivers from binding to WMI devices with a duplicated GUID, as this would mean that the WMI driver will be instantiated at least two times (one for the original GUID and one for the duplicated GUID). WMI drivers which can be instantiated multiple times can signal this by setting a flag inside struct wmi_driver. Tested on a ASUS Prime B650-Plus.
