[PATCH 00/10] SMBIOS improvements

This data does not belong in devicetree, the various system registers 
exist to describe this information... Putting it in DT would be 
duplicating it.

Using DT for this would additionally require having bindings accepted 
upstream and for all SoCs to add them. To what end?

That being said, it would maybe be good to know what the size diff is 
with this series before getting into the weeds.

Could you give some examples?

Kind regards,
