Thank you for making the changes, however I wonder if we should
open-code check for the chassis type, as DMI can be quite bloated and
here we are dealing with exactly one field. Something like this:

It gives me slightly smaller output:

dtor@dtor-ws:~/kernel/work (master *)$ size drivers/input/keyboard/atkbd.o.old
   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename

Please let me know if this works for you and I can combine on my end.

Thanks.
