[PATCH] PCI: Work around Stratus ftServer broken PCIe hierarchy

From: Myron Stowe

Recently, another report surfaced indicating Stratus ftServer platforms
were exhibiting similar failures as has occurred in the past [1].

In late 2011 we started seeing issues with Stratus ftServer systems.
The typical failure was that USB and network devices were not being
seen. Research uncovered that the failure was due to the platform's PCI
Express hierarchy not conforming to the PCI Express specification [2]
which commit f07852d exposed.

The following are known Stratus ftServer platforms whose PCI hierarchies
are broken:

Stratus ftServer ????
+-07.0-[01-76]--+-00.0-[02-76]--+-00.0-[03-3c]--+-00.0-[04-09]..
\-01.0-[0a-0d]--+-[USB]
+-[NIC]
+-..

Stratus ftServer 6400
[0000:00]-+-...-00.0-[03]-00.0-[04]-+-00.0-[05]---00.0-[06]..
| | |
| | \-01.0-[2c]-+-00.0 [USB]
| | +-00.1 [USB]
| | \-1f.0 [ISA]

Stratus ftServer 4500
Stratus ftServer 6310

As a solution, commit 284f5f9 was introduced.

Looking into this again it looks as if the quirk introduced in 284f5f9 is
not making the correct DMI based check. This patch fixes the DMI 'vendor'
based check to match "Stratus", not "ftServer". It also augments the
checking to include matching the DMI based 'product name' to "ftServer".
This quirk should now trigger for all Stratus ftServer platforms which I
was able to confirm by testing on a Stratus ftServer 6400 system with the
following 'dmidecode' output:
System Information
Manufacturer: Stratus
Product Name: ftServer 6400
