Accelerometer test crashes on ARM due to lack of dmidecode

[Jeff Lane ]

Running though the various scripts in Checkbox on an AC100 running the armhf image to verify whether they work or not. The accelerometer test depend on dmidecode, and thus crashes when it runs as there is no dmidecode for arm.

Adding this to a long list of tests that will need to find an alternative to DMI to find hardware information

dmidecode works fine now on armhf (See https://packages.debian.org/sid/dmidecode)
