Not sure if we can really limit the conventions to type1 or type2 if we want the names to be somewhat meaningful.
I can't recall why we selected DMI_BOARD_VENDOR instead of DMI_SYS_VENDOR though.
Is it too late to change to DMI_SYS_VENDOR? Or to have both present in the string?
While in general DMI_SYS_VENDOR is commonly used, there are exceptions to the rule, such as the very machine I am working on at the moment which does have any useful DMI_SYS_VENDOR information (see below) Mengdong may be able to comment on why we took this direction.
