commit 309e65d151ab9be1e7b01d822880cd8c4e611dff upstream.

Commit 9e36775c22c7 ("mfd: kempld: Remove custom DMI matching code")
removes the ability to load the driver if no matching system DMI data
is found. Before this commit the driver could be loaded using
alternative methods such as ACPI or `force_device_id` in the absence
of a matching system DMI entry.

Restore this ability while keeping the refactored
`platform_device_info` table.
