[dts] [PATCH V3] test_plans/etag:add hardware informations

Sagepond(X552/X557-AT) is a build-in NIC in SuperMicro 1U Xeon D Broadwell SoC uServer, but Sageville(X550) is a separated NIC that we can install it in any machines, so it doesn't make sense to add your machine type in prerequisites, because it's not a MUST option, but a COULD option. I prefer to remove 'Machine type' and  'Product Name'
