Subject: [PATCH v3 5/5] firmware: dmi: Read additional information when decoding DMI table
Date: Sat, 10 Jan 2026 07:48:34 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260110134835.1296600-6-superm1@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260110134835.1296600-1-superm1@kernel.org>
Type 40 entries (Additional information) are summarized in section
7.41 as part of the SMBIOS specification. These entries aren't
all interesting enough to save, but on some AMD Zen systems the
AGESA version is stored here and can be useful to save into
debugging logs for cross referencing issues when reported.
Signed-off-by: Mario Limonciello (AMD) <superm1@kernel.org>

v3:
* Merge patch to show AGESA version (Jean)
* Don't save strings (Jean)
* Avoid out of bounds (Jean)
