The validation code is rejecting duplicates. Whether the driver loads or 
not after a failed validation is another matter.

I was basically assuming that CI will fail on the error message and thus 
prevent such code ever being merged. But yeah, I guess we don't run CI 
on backports to stable kernels and such. Although, I would hope that 
anyone pushing patches to a stable kernel would run some testing on it 
first!

Any thoughts on a good way to fail the load? We don't want to just 
pretend that firmware is not wanted/required on the platform and just 
load the i915 module without the firmware. Also, what about the longer 
plan of moving the validation to a selftest. You can't fail the load at 
all then.
