Next -mm has

procfs-detect-duplicate-names.patch
procfs-detect-duplicate-names-fix.patch
procfs-detect-duplicate-names-fix-fix-2.patch

which will at least tell us who the second offender is.

I have a vague memory that this is due to selecting two different types of
rtc in config. Perhaps a Kconfig fix is needed, dunno.
