[PATCH v11 07/15] platform/x86: dell-smbios: only run if proper oem string is detected

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



The proper way to indicate that a system is a 'supported' Dell System
is by the presence of this string in OEM strings.

Allowing the driver to load on non-Dell systems will have undefined
results.
