Subject: [Patch 1/3] firmware: dmi_scan: use direct access to static vars

There is no reason to pass static vars to function that can use
only them.

The dmi_table() can use only dmi_len and dmi_num static vars, so use
them directly. In this case we can freely change their type in one
place and slightly decrease redundancy.
