    Subject[PATCH 0/2] firmware: dmi-sysfs: add SMBIOS
    Date
    Some utils, like dmidecode and smbios, needs to access SMBIOS entry
    table area in order to get information like SMBIOS version, size, etc.
    Currently it's done via /dev/mem. But for situation when /dev/mem
    usage is disabled, the utils have to use dmi sysfs instead, which
    doesn't represent SMBIOS entry. So this patch series adds SMBIOS
    area to dmi sysfs in order to allow utils in question to work
    correctly with dmi sysfs.

    Ivan Khoronzhuk (2):
    firmware: dmi_scan: add symbol to get SMBIOS entry area
    firmware: dmi-sysfs: add SMBIOS entry point area attribute
