Currently systemd looks at DMI data and ACPI so we'd need to extend that
logic to either a lookup table based on
e.g. /sys/firmware/devicetree/base/compatible or to export the chassis
type in /sys based on a DT property¹ (or likely both: the later being
the preferred solution and the former being the user space quirk table).
I have had this on my list for some time but it keeps slipping but
didn't get around to it yet but just bumped it in priority a little.
