General nit. When writing your messages, please use the imperative (command)
form. Rather than:
"Patch adds" or "It changes" use the same form you use in the subject lines:
"Add new ODM systems", "Fix struct field documentation", etc.
Again, I've been rewriting these, but as a regular contributor, this will help
reduce the overhead of reviewing your patches - good for you, good for me :-)

You said "it assumes that ODM companies can't change DMI_BOARD_NAME". Is that an
assumption, or is that how ODMs work with Mellanox?
