Siemens industrial PCs unfortunately can not always be properly
identified the way we used to. An earlier commit introduced code that
allows proper identification without looking at DMI strings that could
differ based on product branding.
Switch over to that proper way and revert commits that used to collect
the machines based on unstable strings.

Much easier to rewrite it as

if (strcmp(...)) // BTW, do we have a dmi_* helper for that?
  return true;

if (dmi_walk)
  return false;

return station_id == || ...;
+}
Maybe instead you can rewrite it as a callback in DMI table which
changes a (global, yeah) variable that you simply reassign...


quoted hunk ↗ jump to hunk
        if (d) {
-               clk_data->critical = true;
-               pr_info("%s critclks quirk enabled\n", d->ident);
+               clk_data->critical = pmc_clk_is_critical(d);
+               if (clk_data->critical)
+                       pr_info("%s critclks quirk enabled\n", d->ident);
        }
...somewhere here?

Like
  clk_data->critical = global_var;
  if (...)
    pr_info();

It seems it will reduce burden on a callback by dropping strcmp() call.
