[PATCH v4 07/14] platform/x86: dell-smbios: only run if proper oem string is detected
From: Mario Limonciello
Date: Wed Oct 04 2017 - 18:48:59 EST
The proper way to indicate that a system is a 'supported' Dell System
is by the presence of this string in OEM strings.
Allowing the driver to load on non-Dell systems will have undefined
results.
