Many systems do not use ACPI and hence do not provide a DMI table. On

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.

That change introduces a regression on all our tests: the names are not correctly set, which will prevent UCM from loading the relevant profiles based on the long name.

Before:
0 [sofhdadsp ]: sof-hda-dsp - sof-hda-dsp
AAEON-UP_WHL01-V1.0

After:
root@plb-UP-WHL01:/proc/asound# more cards
0 [sofhdadsp ]: sof-hda-dsp - sof-hda-dsp
sof-hda-dsp

The problem is that the cards are platform devices created by the parent (which itself may be a PCI or ACPI device) and have nothing to do with ACPI.

Could we flip the logic and instead explicitly detect OF devices? That restores functionality for us.

Jon, would this work for you?

Thanks!

Changes since V1:
- Use is_acpi_device_node() to determine if we expect the DMI table to
be present.
