I understand the P25 to be the same as the P20 I own, just marketed as 
the P20 in Australia.  (Please correct me if I'm wrong about that.)

If you look in the file init.c, you 'll find
 
  { "TOSHIBA",  "Satellite P10*",            
NULL,                             NULL,    "Toshiba Satellite 
P10",       TSP10 },
  { "TOSHIBA",  "Satellite P15*",            
NULL,                             NULL,    "Toshiba Satellite 
P15",       TSP10 },
  { "TOSHIBA",  "Satellite P20*",            
NULL,                             NULL,    "Toshiba Satellite 
P20",       TSP10 },

but no P25, so I'd recommned you just add a similar line for the P25. 
For comparison here is the output on my P20 from /proc/omnibook/dmi
