Are you sure that you want to do this check unconditionally on all
machines which have enabled CONFIG_DELL_LAPTOP?
Subvendor ID_DELL for dell specific code is not suspicious, but ID_ATI
is. What would happen if ATI vendor changes to NVIDIA or other which is
not related to Dell?
Interesting question would be, how handle this situation Windows?
