The current implementation of dmi_name_in_vendors() is an invitation to lazy coding and false positives [1]. Searching for a string in 8 know what you're looking for, so you should know where to look. strstr isn't fast, especially when it fails, so we should avoid calling it when it just can't succeed. Looking at the current users of the function, it seems clear to me that they are looking for a system or board vendor name, so let's limit dmi_name_in_vendors to these two DMI fields. This much better matches the function name, BTW. [1] We currently have code looking for short names in DMI data, such as "IBM", "ASUS" or "Acer". I let you guess what will happen the day other vendors ship products named, for example, "SCHREIBMEISTER", "PEGASUS" or "Acerola".
