**Problem description:**
If you bind to a class which implements `INotifyDataErrorInfo` it runs validation for the whole class. It should show the issue for each property once, but shows it twice.
**Actual behavior:**
Every issue is shown twice like shown in the following image:

Investigating this further showed that the method `GetErrors(string propertyName)` gets calles twice. One time for `null` and one time for `string.Empty`. According to the docs both calls will return the same result: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.componentmodel.inotifydataerrorinfo.geterrors?view=net-5.0
> "The name of the property to retrieve validation errors for; or null or Empty, to retrieve entity-level errors."
I also discussed this here as I first thought it was a bug there: https://github.com/windows-toolkit/WindowsCommunityToolkit/issues/3763
**Expected behavior:**
Every issue is shown only once.
**Minimal repro:**
