Many systems do not use ACPI and hence do not provide a DMI table. On non-ACPI systems a warning, such as the following, is printed on boot.
WARNING KERN tegra-audio-graph-card sound: ASoC: no DMI vendor name!
The variable 'dmi_available' is not exported and so currently cannot be used by kernel modules without adding an accessor. However, it is possible to use the function is_acpi_device_node() to determine if the sound card is an ACPI device and hence indicate if we expect a DMI table to be present. Therefore, call is_acpi_device_node() to see if we are using ACPI and only parse the DMI table if we are booting with ACPI.
