I'd keep the DMI+HID approach since it's more flexible:
- (AFAICS) Thinkpads have different methods for hwmon depending on the
  model and no fixed HID
- With DMI it would be possible to include ASUS motherboards (ATK w/
  hwmon) but exclude ASUS laptops (ATK w/o hwmon).

Hum, it's not immediatly clear why you put that call in the else
branch. Maybe put:

if (!result)
        acpi_device_quirks();

before the cleanup?
