Yes, that could be nice thing to do indeed. They are usually used only to store a human-readable description of the device anyway, which is then not printed anywhere, and therefore a plain C comment should be sufficient instead.
It will require fixing dmi_check_system() though, as it's one of those rare functions actually using ->ident field for detecting end of the list.
