platform/x86: msi-wmi-platform: Only load on MSI devices
It turns out that the GUID used by the msi-wmi-platform driver (ABBC0F60-8EA1-11D1-00A0-C90629100000) is not unique, but was instead copied from the WIndows Driver Samples. This means that this driver could load on devices from other manufacturers that also copied this GUID, potentially causing hardware errors. Prevent this by only loading on devices whitelisted via DMI. The DMI matches where taken from the msi-ec driver.
