The latter interface is considered to be deprecated, so new WMI drivers should generally avoid it since -it has some issues with multiple WMI devices and events sharing the same GUIDs -and/or notification IDs. The modern bus-based interface instead maps each -WMI device to a :c:type:`struct wmi_device <wmi_device>`, so it supports -WMI devices sharing GUIDs and/or notification IDs.
