Yep, it's very possible that I'm on the wrong track with that thought (can you tell I don't know much about device drivers and hardware? :)). The vendor-string only appears once[1] in src:linux, and that's in a YAML file that I don't see referenced within the build. But I suppose there are other places (nvram?) where the value could have originated from. My hope is that there's a relatively-hardcoded value somewhere that we can read from, so that we don't have to worry about any configuration changes applied locally per-system. Either way: ignore me for a while, I'll go and use the instructions you provided later in your message to try to figure out the source of these values (thank you!).
