This fix is based on Daniel Drake's suggestion: most x86 machines have a
meaningfull DMI_SYS_VENDOR rather than DMI_BOARD_VENDOR.

So snd_soc_set_dmi_name will try to get vendor name from DMI_SYS_VENDOR
at first, and if that's null, then use DMI_BOARD_VENDOR.

We should also test all of vendor.product.version.board fields for "(To 
be filled by OEM)" and "Default String" and limit each field to 20 
characters if you want to stick with 80 total (or a smarter rule that 
does not truncate a field if there was room saved by the others)

Well, the two strings, "(To be filled by OEM)" and "Default String",
are known to be bogus, and actually found on many devices with
premature BIOS, so we can safely skip them.

Daniel and I have tested this patch on our platforms.

Now the risk on string size seems okay. The maximum size of the 
vendor.product.version.board is about 60 characters found in my test for 
some Lenovo, DELL, ASUS, Minnowboard and Intel machines.

Usually each field has 10 ~ 20 characters. Since it's difficult to judge 
which part in the string is more important, we just copy, concatenate 
and limit the total size of the concatenated string.
But to save size, we've stripped SPACE characters from each field to 
reduce the string size. And if a DMI field is null, it will be skipped 
without any "Default string".

Thanks
