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 v4: - Drop debugging change to doc/Makefile
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
