Sorry, but I dont understand your point. Can you elaborate?

With Mark modification, you can use the following cases to identify 
platform:
1. DMI only
2. f->match() only (_HID can be used there)
3. DMI and f->match()

DMI used to be very convenient way to recognise platform, sometimes it 
is not enough, hence f->match() alternative.
