Dear Guenter,


Thank you so much for taking this on.

Testing this on top of 6.10-rc2+ on a Supermicro X13SAE, Linux logs:

Then with `sudo modprobe at24` and `sudo modprobe ee1004`, `decode-dimms` shows:

$ sudo ./eeprom/decode-dimms
# decode-dimms version 4.3

Memory Serial Presence Detect Decoder

Jean Delvare, Trent Piepho and others


Number of SDRAM DIMMs detected and decoded: 0

This might be expected, and `decode-dimms` also needs to be updated.


Kind regards and thank you again for these patches,

Paul
