s/We/A system/

Also which global state are you referring to?

register

You also fail to describe what the problem is caused by registering the
syscore ops more than once.

Again. That global state reference is confusing at best.

Aside of violating the bracket rules, this code is broken already in a
very subtle way:

If the probe fails then it should not invoke
acpi_dev_clear_dependencies() either.

Something like the below makes it entirely clear what this is about.

The fix for the probe fail vs. acpi dependencies obviously wants to be
split out into a separate patch.

Thanks,
