No, I haven't.

The BIOS hasn't been updated since 08/31/2015 and I'm running the latest 
version (A08). I wonder if Dell cares anymore about the 9333 which has been 
replaced by the 9343 in early 2015. Nevertheless, should I add a line matching 
the BIOS version and should it look like this?

DMI_EXACT_MATCH(DMI_BIOS_VERSION, "A08")
