And my point with the above is that other SoC maintainers (Neil, for
amlogic) have said (paraphrasing) he does not want to do N smbios node
patches. Which is why Ilias' patch is if not 1000% correct, it's Good
Enough and will, if it's really a problem to have all lower case
information displayed, spur people to see providing that information as
a real problem that needs to be solved. Or it will be seen as good
enough.
If some platforms requires a more "correct" smbios dataset, then they're
welcome adding the required smbios node, and it's perfectly understandable,
but for the other community-maintained platforms we need some valid fallback
data otherwise they'll be de facto excluded from some tools for no valid
reasons.
Do you know which tools require SMBIOS tables? I found sos and another
Redhat one.
SMBIOS data is translated into dmi informations in Linux, and a little
lookup in GitHub gives 6.4K files using something from
/sys/devices/virtual/dmi/id/,
and by very commonly used tools like lshw and probably fwupd.
