SubjectRe: [patch 2/2] fastboot: use a DMI match table to set defaults for port-disable

last time I had mine open, I saw that the other ATA connectors are in
theory usable. You have to do some heavy modifications, but some people
do modifications to this kind of hardware to use it for really weird
purposes. We might wanna consider adding a module parameter to disable
the magic DMI table. Or do we expect them to always compile their own
kernel and know where to fix this? Thoughts?

Regards

Marcel
