hi Jonathan,

I checked the implementation of dmi_check_system() and the useage cases in
compal-laptop/fujitsu-laptop/msi-laptop, it should be no problem with
this change.

In compal-laptop and msi-laptop, we call dmi_check_system() to
identify the laptop model.
(The callback simply print the identified laptop model)
It should have zero or exactly one successful match.

In fujitsu-laptop, we call dmi_check_system() to identify the laptop
model and set parameters accordingly.
The callback print the identified laptop model and set parameters
(use_alt_lcd_levels / fujitsu->keycode[1|2|3|4|5] ).
It should have zero or exactly one successful match.
If it has some other matching function with successful match, then
current implementation
is buggy anyway because new successful matches will override the
fujitsu->keycode[1|2|3|4|5]
parameters.

Regards,
Axel
