Bug 150611 uncovered that the WMI ID used by the toshiba-wmi driver is not Toshiba specific, and as such, the driver was being loaded on non Toshiba laptops too. This patch adds a DMI matching list checking for TOSHIBA as the vendor, refusing to load if it is not. Also the WMI GUID was renamed, dropping the TOSHIBA_ prefix, to better reflect that such GUID is not a Toshiba specific one.
