Ah, thanks for pointing this out. I've sent a new version with a NULL check, so we don't crash. I'm not sure about selecting DMI, as nothing else seems to do so. You can only disable it if CONFIG_EMBEDDED=y. And I think the help text for CONFIG_DMI is sufficiently scary - it effectively says that you need to check against every single DMI blacklist in the kernel, without telling you how :).
