All boards with DMI_PRODUCT_FAMILY="CBxx63" are Baytrail boards. We do produce other x86 boards but the family
is exclusive to Baytrail.
I might be misunderstanding how the matching works. Does this match anything other than CBxx63?

.matches = {
DMI_MATCH(DMI_SYS_VENDOR, "Beckhoff Automation"),
DMI_MATCH(DMI_PRODUCT_FAMILY, "CBxx63"),
},

I can switch it to DMI_EXACT_MATCH but even substring matching works.
