[PATCH v15 1/2] platform/x86/lenovo: lenovo-ymc: Suppress probe on Yoga Book 9 14IAH10

The Yoga Book 9 14IAH10 (DMI product name "83KJ") has a dedicated
yb9-kbdock WMI driver that registers an input device reporting
SW_TABLET_MODE to track the detachable Bluetooth keyboard.

lenovo-ymc also loads on this machine and creates an input node with the
SW_TABLET_MODE capability bit set.  For input switches, the presence of
the capability bit has semantic meaning: userspace (e.g. GNOME) reads
the switch state at startup from every node advertising the capability
and does not expect more than one such node.

Add a DMI match for the Yoga Book 9 14IAH10 to probe() so that
lenovo-ymc returns -ENODEV on this hardware, leaving yb9-kbdock as the
sole SW_TABLET_MODE source.  The ymc_ec_trigger EC write, the only
other action taken in response to a YMC event, is guarded by a separate
DMI table that excludes this machine; no other functionality is affected.
