Let take a look at linux/dmi.h:

#ifdef CONFIG_DMI

extern int dmi_check_system(struct dmi_system_id *list);
extern char * dmi_get_system_info(int field);
extern struct dmi_device * dmi_find_device(int type, const char *name,
	struct dmi_device *from);
extern void dmi_scan_machine(void);
extern int dmi_get_year(int field);
extern int dmi_name_in_vendors(char *str);

#else

static inline int dmi_check_system(struct dmi_system_id *list) { return 0; }
static inline char * dmi_get_system_info(int field) { return NULL; }
static inline struct dmi_device * dmi_find_device(int type, const char *name,
	struct dmi_device *from) { return NULL; }
static inline int dmi_get_year(int year) { return 0; }
static inline int dmi_name_in_vendors(char *s) { return 0; }

#endif
