Below is (as PoC) fine for me.
Though one comment.

I would better to see dmi_system_id table with callback that sets this
boolean variable inside topstar structure.

Something like below (adapt it to better suit your needs):

static const struct dmi_system_id topstar_quirks[] = {
       {
               .callback = dmi_led_workaround,
               .ident = "Topstar ... BLA BLA BLA",
               .matches = {
                      DMI_MATCH(DMI_BOARD_NAME, "U931"),
                      DMI_MATCH(DMI_BOARD_VERSION, "RVP7"),
               },
               .driver_data = topstar,
       },
       {}
};
