Sorry, I had the the whitespace wrong when backporting one of your two
old patches, so I ended up with a code base different from what upstream
has. It's all fixed now, you can download the patches again and they
should apply fine (starting from 01 if working with kernel v4.0,
starting from 03 if working with linux-next.) Sorry for the trouble.

The reason why my patch series is based on v4.0 and not linux-next is
that I'm going to test it on a remote development system which
implements SMBIOS 3.0 and is currently running kernel v4.0, so I don't
want to use an unstable code base which could cause problems by itself.
