Matching on a single DMI string is not always enough to uniquely identify
a machine. I would change this to a dmi_system_id struct and then add
an array with 2 dmi_system_id structs in drm_panel_backlight_entry_matches()
and copy the struct to the first array entry + zero out the second entry
(terminator) and then use dmi_check_system().

Hmm, what about DSI panels? These do not (always) have EDID info AFAIK.

drivers/gpu/drm/drm_panel_orientation_quirks.c is using a resolution match
so as to hopefully not match external screens, but that is also so that it can
be used from efifb / simpledrm and here you really do want to differentiate
between different panels by panel model.

So I guess that the EDId match is fine and if we ever need to match DSI panels
without EDID we figure something out then.

Thinking more about this I have a question about the approach as a whole though,
I'll reply to the cover-letter with this.

Regards,

Hans
