While coreboot is most commonly seen in ChromeOS systems it's not unique to them so this seems likely to generate false positives. Since the target for this change is internal-only development hardware it doesn't seem unreasonable to expect people to be able to keep changes like device ID updates internally. This is one of the many costs of BIOSes that require us to do such DMI hacks, it'd be much better to improve the firmware and the driver so they can specify required properties directly rather than relying on DMI.
