Subject: DMI: create dmi_get_slot()

Hi Len,

I saw you added the dmi_get_slot function recently.
If I look in drivers/firmware/dmi_scan.c however I now see:

...

/**
 *	dmi_get_system_info - return DMI data value
 *	@field: data index (see enum dmi_field)
 *
 *	Returns one DMI data value, can be used to perform
 *	complex DMI data checks.
 */
const char *dmi_get_system_info(int field)
{
	return dmi_ident[field];
}
EXPORT_SYMBOL(dmi_get_system_info);

...

/**
 *	dmi_get_slot - return dmi_ident[slot]
 *	@slot:	index into dmi_ident[]
 */
char *dmi_get_slot(int slot)
{
	return(dmi_ident[slot]);
}

Didn't we duplicate code here?

Greetings,
Wim.
