Subject: [PATCH 2/2] firmware/dmi: Report DMI Embedded Firmware release

Servers that have a BMC encodes the release version of their firmwarein the
 "Embedded Controller Firmware {Major|Minor} Release" fields of Type 0.

This information is used to know which BMC release actually runs.
It could be used for some quirks, debugging sessions or inventory tasks.

A typical output for a Dell system running the 3.75 bios is :

    [root@...00 ~]# cat /sys/devices/virtual/dmi/id/fw_release
    3.75
    [root@...00 ~]#
