This series includes various patches to allow more flexibility as to where
the data for SMBIOS tables comes from:
- introduces some standard sysinfo options as a source, e.g. to read
strapping pins to determine the board revision
- allows the U-Boot version number to be included
- allows the version number to be provided programmatically, e.g. to
support the build system adding information after U-Boot is built
Documentation is added for how to obtain version information.
The code is also refactored a little to make it easier to maintain.
Changes in v3:
- Move to doc/ and .rst format
- Add examples for converting epoch values
- Use .rst file instead of README
- Fix comment for smbios_add_prop()
- Rename set_eos() to smbios_set_eos()
- Add missing DECLARE_GLOBAL_DATA_PTR
- Expand commit to explain why operations are required
- Use SMBIOS_STR_MAX for the max sysinfo string length
Changes in v2:
- Add a comment about dropping the century
- Zero the context's dev pointer if not used
- Correct documentation format
- Add new patch to fix sysinfo with CONFIG_IS_ENABLED()
- Add new patch to fix crash on coral
