There are often results of mismerges or other assorted screw ups, often
done by the maintainer itself (e.g. me in thinkpad-acpi's case) during
development.

The patch is correct, and I thank you for the head's up.  But let me
track down what caused it first, hmm?  I also highly recommend that this
should be done in all cases you find, instead of just blindly fixing the
assignment.  I suggest using git --blame to track down what added the
duplicated assignments, and check if it looks sane...

It is often a VERY BAD IDEA to remove such markers of potential
brokennes without checking out if they're actually helpfully trying to
warn you of worse badness :p

But hey, maybe you've already done that.  If you did, I apologise for
preaching to the choir.
