Calling dmi_check_system() early only works on X86. Other architectures initialize the DMI subsystem later so it's not ready yet when ACPI itself gets initialized. In the best case it results in a useless call to a function which will do nothing. But depending on the dmi implementation, it could also result in warnings. Best is to not call the function when it can't work and isn't needed. Additionally, if anyone ever needs to add non-x86 quirks, it would surprisingly not work, so document the limitation to avoid confusion.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
