I happily defer to Hans on things like this as he has way more experience than me, but we usually use the BOARD_NAME for identifying platforms everywhere else in the kernel so that feels to me 'safer'.

If we do go ahead with PRODUCT_VERSION it should probably be DMI_MATCH_EXACT instead. I think that will work fine, but it is not commonly used and I would worry about the FW team doing weird versions for different markets (the two board names are very standard for Thinkpads)
