Subject: [PATCH 4.17 013/220] platform/chrome: cros_ec_lpc: do not try DMI match when ACPI device found

4.17-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Dmitry Torokhov <dmitry.torokhov@...il.com>

commit b410b1226620b6c959f1e9c87529acd058e90caf upstream.

Older models of Chromebooks did not describe the LPC EC in their ACPI
tables; starting with Strago-based devices Google is using GOOG0004 device
to describe EC LPC.

DMI-based match is fragile and does not work reliably, especially when
using custom firmware. It is also not needed when we can locate the right
ACPI device, so let's stop bailing out when DMI does not match but the
right ACPI device is present.
