On this board the ACPI RSDP structure points to both a RSDT and an XSDT,
but the XSDT points to a truncated FADT. This causes all sorts of trouble
and usually a complete failure to boot after the following error occurs:

  ACPI Error: Unsupported address space: 0x20 (*/hwregs-*)
  ACPI Error: AE_SUPPORT, Unable to initialize fixed events (*/evevent-*)
  ACPI: Unable to start ACPI Interpreter

This leaves the ACPI implementation in such a broken state that subsequent
kernel subsystem initialisations go wrong, resulting in among others
mismapped PCI memory, SATA and USB enumeration failures, and freezes.

As this is an older embedded platform that will likely never see any BIOS
updates to address this issue and its default shipping OS only complies to
ACPI 1.0, work around this by forcing `acpi=rsdt`. This patch, applied on
top of Linux 5.10.102, was confirmed on real hardware to fix the issue.

v3:
- Change DMI matching criteria as per Hans's suggestion

v2:
- Reduce DMI match count to 4 to not overflow dmi_system_id structure
Reported-by: kernel test robot <lkp@intel.com>
- Change board ident to correct name
- Fix small style issue
- Fix up subject as per Rafael's changes
