[Bug 2068546] Re: Exclude thermald thermal management for Dell Optiplex XE4

[Kai-Chuan Hsieh]

** Description changed:

  [ Impact ]
  
   * Dell would like to disable thermald thermal management on Dell
- OptiPlex XE4 on focal
+ OptiPlex XE4 for 20.04
  
   * The reason is that the thermald on focal is too old to support the thermal policy configured in the BIOS
  , it leads the problem in lp:2064083. However, the platform can rely on EC to do the thermal management, so that it can omit the issue if thermald is inactive on the platform.
  
  [ Test Plan ]
  
   * Install the package on the target OptiPlex XE4 platform, product sku
  0ACB
  
   * Run $ systemctl status thermald
  
   * The status should be inactive
  
   * Run $ systemctl status thermald on other platforms, the status should
  be as what it was.
  
  [ Where problems could occur ]
  
   * The change only takes place on the specified platform, the other
  platforms should work as what it was. If other platforms dmi reports the
  same pattern in sys_vendor and product_sku, the thermald will stop
  working too.
  
  [ Other Info ]
  
   * The thermald version after jammy can support the table configured in
  the BIOS correctly, so there is no need to apply the patch to the
  codename >= 22.04.
