So this matching function gets both blacklists and whitelists. No wonder
it is confusing. Now I finally understand what you wanna do: you want to
call all those lists something agnostic as platform_list or so because
they contain exactly that: platforms - not OEMs.

And then you want to match *platforms*. *Not* OEMs.

*Now* I understand what you're trying to tell me.
