[PATCH 1/1] smbios: error handling for invalid addresses

Heinrich Schuchardt xypron.glpk at gmx.de
Sat May 15 18:07:47 CEST 2021


SMBIOS tables only support 32bit addresses. If we don't have memory here
handle the error gracefully:

* on x86_64 fail to start U-Boot
* during UEFI booting ignore the missing table
