Public bug reported:

[Impact]
When we add DMI quirks for the new platforms, it's hard to prevent from leaking 
its model name. Our customer doesn't like it.

[Fix]
Introduce the product sku modalias to DMI table, so that we can use more 
meaningless product sku string to match the platform.

[Test]
No real DMI quirk is added in this commit, so need to do any tests.

[Where problems could occur]
It's safe to add one more DMI entry, nothing could be affected.
