Re: [PATCH] platform/chrome: cros_ec_lpc: Add DMI definition for post-Skylake machines running custom Coreboot builds

[Alicja Michalska]

Thank you for your feedback.

I've explained the reason behind adding this patch, but we'll go with 
different approach next time around.

Since we're discussing this, I would like to suggest removal of DMI 
matches for EOL machines from lines 503...535 (Link, Samus, Peppy, Glimmer).

Those machines aren't supported by Google anymore. Patch I suggested 
will match DMI while running custom firmware.

If maintainers are okay with it, I will submit a patch removing DMI 
matches for stock firmware running on those machines since it's not 
needed anymore.
