Add the Alienware Area-51 (2025 desktop, model AAT2250) to the AWCC DMI
table. G-Mode is not applicable to this desktop, so generic_quirks is
used. The full product name is matched to avoid colliding with the
"Alienware Area-51m" and "Alienware 16/18 Area-51" laptop entries.

Tested on hardware with BIOS 1.6.0: loading with
force_platform_profile=1 force_hwmon=1 exposes a working platform
profile (quiet/balanced/balanced-performance/custom) and a fully
functional hwmon interface (6 fans - CPU, 3 top, 2 front - with fan
boost control and temperature sensors).

Thank you for your contribution, it has been applied to my local
review-ilpo-next branch. Note it will show up in the public
platform-drivers-x86/review-ilpo-next branch only once I've pushed my
local branch there, which might take a while.

FYI [if applicable to your patch], as per Linus' policy change, also
fixes are mostly routed through for-next unless the fix is for a
commit introduced in the most recent cycle or is clearly a regression
fix.

The list of commits applied:
[1/1] platform/x86/dell: alienware-wmi-wmax: add Alienware Area-51 AAT2250
      commit: 1ac4912106627ff77287b7ad5b11e3e6f5690f6c
