"dmi_match" should probably have been named "dmi_field_match" instead,
maybe it should be renamed to that now for consistency and clarity?

Yes I think that would be good, but outside of the scope of this patch-set.

Of course, I meant it that way. I'll take care of it separately.

As I was looking into this, I noticed function dmi_first_match(), which
seems to do what you need. Here's an untested proof-of-concept, what do
you think?

I already considered using dmi_first_match() but that will not work
because the 2 different GPD devices have identical DMI strings other then
their bios-dates (GRRR).

Doh. I noticed it, and found a way around it, and implemented it... and
forgot to refresh the patch before posting it :-( Maybe no longer
relevant as you have found yet another way, but here it is still for
your consideration:

Ah yes that will work too, but TBH I think my own solution is a bit
cleaner, so lets go with v4 as is (as I already posted it) assuming
no-one finds any issues with it.

Regards,

Hans
