[PATCH 2/2] smbios: Fallback to the default DT if sysinfo nodes are missing

In order to fill in the SMBIOS tables U-Boot currently relies on a
"u-boot,sysinfo-smbios" compatible node. This is fine for the boards
that already include such nodes. However with some recent EFI changes,
the majority of boards can boot up distros, which usually rely on
things like dmidecode etc for their reporting. For boards that
lack this special node the SMBIOS output looks like:
System Information
Manufacturer: Unknown
Product Name: Unknown
Version: Unknown
Serial Number: Unknown
UUID: Not Settable
Wake-up Type: Reserved
SKU Number: Unknown
Family: Unknown
This looks problematic since most of the info are "Unknown". The DT spec
specifies standard properties containing relevant information like
'model' and 'compatible' for which the suggested format is
<manufacturer,model>. So let's add a last resort to our current
smbios parsing. If none of the sysinfo properties are found, we can
scan the root node for 'model' and 'compatible'.
