Subject: [PATCH] platform/x86/intel: hid: Add DMI switches allow list

Some devices, even non convertible ones, can send incorrect
SW_TABLET_MODE reports.

Add an allow list and accept such reports only from devices in it.

Bug reported for Dell XPS 17 9710 on:
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/libinput/libinput/-/issues/662
