I did (0 errors/warnings/checks). What needs to be corrected?

Yes, currently that function is tiny, but some tests with motherboards
from other families are done by users and if I add other families, the
information required for each board model will grow and in that case
I'd switch from dmi_system_id array to a custom struct to define all
the board-related data at at the same place, and to save some space in
the module binary, as unused parts of the dmi_system_id array already
take a quarter of the total binary size. So, the function will likely
get some more code soon.
