hwmon: (abituguru3) Match partial DMI board name strings
The switch-over to using DMI board strings to identify abituguru3 compatible mainboards works most of the time, but sometimes the vendor has substantially modified the board string between BIOS revisions. We have found that the vendor chipset identification string (provided in brackets) changes frequently and is of no use to us. The rest of the board string sometimes changes in subtle ways, e.g. whitespace or variations in capitalization. The new comparison code checks only a part of the supplied DMI board string, trimming the bracketed content, whitespace, and ignoring case as necessary. This fixes a bug where an IP35 Pro running an early BIOS would not be detected without the force=1 module parameter, and also speculatively fixes other similiar issues.
