[PATCH 2/2] firmware/dmi: Report DMI Embedded Firmware release
From: Erwan Velu
Date: Wed Nov 27 2019 - 10:09:46 EST
Servers that have a BMC encodes the release version of their firmwarein the
"Embedded Controller Firmware {Major|Minor} Release" fields of Type 0.
This information is used to know which BMC release actually runs.
It could be used for some quirks, debugging sessions or inventory tasks.
A typical output for a Dell system running the 3.75 bios is :
[root@t1700 ~]# cat /sys/devices/virtual/dmi/id/fw_release
3.75
[root@t1700 ~]#
