Hi,
while the patch is correct I won't apply it for now. I have a much bigger patch in the works which does what your patch does, and adds a lots more other (duplicate) IDs for chips with different name...
sure.

In general, can I assume that two chips with the same id number will have the exact same register layout?
No, I don't think that is safe.
True.
There are several chips with different names and same IDs.
Fair enough. Now that being said, how should I enter data for two chips into the array? Should it just look like the following?
{0x50, "First chip name" ...} {0x50, "Second chip name" ...}
Also, what are "Ultra I/Os", and should superiotool support dumps from 'em?
Sorry, no idea.
Can you name an example? I think that's just another name for Super I/O, so yes, I think we should support them.
Sure -- the SMSC datasheet website lists several Super I/Os and at least one "Ultra I/O":
