Add a DMI based blacklist for systems where probing some sdio interfaces

Changes in v2:
-Adjust for changes in mmc: sdhci-acpi: Add fix_up_power_blacklist module option
-Only use a single fix_up_power_dmi_blacklist for the GPDwin further testing
  has shown that the DMI strings are unique enough that we do not need the
  bios-date in there
Changes in v3:
-Adjust for changes to "mmc: sdhci-acpi: Add blacklist module option"

I can't accept that this is an accurate way to identify the board.

Well as I already mentioned when I first submitted this patch-set this
patch-set fixes a regression. When I first installed Linux on this
system, the wifi just worked, until this commit got merged:

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit?id=db52d4f8a4bde36263a7cc9d46ff20b243562ac9

Given the kernel's no regressions policy I see only 2 ways to fix this
something like this patch, or revert the commit causing the regression.

In the CHT dstd's I have 6 out of 8 use the 80860F14 HID rather then
the INT33BB HID one, so reverting the commit causing this regression
is not really an option.

Note that the quirk not only matches on DMI strings, but also on the
80860F14:2 pair, further narrowing the chance for duplicate matches.

I've access to 29 dmi dumps of Bay / Cherry Trail tablets now and
only 3 match DMI_MATCH(DMI_BOARD_VENDOR, "AMI Corporation") (*),
and only 1 out of 29 (the GPD win) matches DMI_MATCH(DMI_BOARD_NAME,
"Default string") so after 2 of the 5 checks (including the UID
check) we already have only the GPD win matching.

So thinking more about this, one more thing which can be done to
make sure the dmi match is unique to the GPD win is also check
the BIOS date, as I did in v1 of this patch set, one problem with
that is that the manufacturer does tend to update the BIOS date in
new production batches (*) and I ended up with many classic
dmi table entries which were all identical except for the bios_date
field. So for v4 I've coded out the bios-date check as a separate
check so that we can have an array of bios-dates for a single
dmi quirk table entry.

Regards,

Hans

*) I've notified them of the BIOS bug and asked them to fix this
(as well as provide better dmi strings) they have acknowledged receipt
of my email and said they would forward it to their engineers, so
this may get fixed in a later version at which point we don't need
to add the dates of the fixed and newer bios versions.
