While coreboot is most commonly seen in ChromeOS systems it's not unique to them so this seems likely to generate false positives. Since
So far, almost all ChromeOS system with rt5650 codec have the same properties. We think the settings can be a default setting for rt5650 codec. That's why we use DMI_MATCH(DMI_SYS_VENDOR, "GOOGLE") and place it in the lowest priority currently. Adding "coreboot" is for those ChromeOS system other than with DMI_SYS_VENDOR "GOOGLE".
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.
Agree. We will find a more reasonable way (maybe ACPI) to specify required properties directly. However, I can expect that will take time. If you think use "coreboot" is not a good idea, can we match the DMI_PRODUCT_NAME field just like before until we finish the implementation of specifying required properties directly?
