[PATCH 1/2] firmware/dmi: Report DMI Bios release

[Erwan Velu]

Some vendors like HPe or Dell, encode the release version of their BIOS
in the "System BIOS {Major|Minor} Release" fields of Type 0.

This information is used to know which bios release actually runs.
It could be used for some quirks, debugging sessions or inventory tasks.

A typical output for a Dell system running the 65.27 bios is :

	[root@t1700 ~]# cat /sys/devices/virtual/dmi/id/bios_release
	65.27
	[root@t1700 ~]#

This commit add  dmi_save_release() function have the logic to
check if the field is valid. If so, it reports the actual value.
