Subject: [PATCH v4 6/6] x86/CPU/AMD: Print AGESA string from DMI additional information entry
From: Yazen Ghannam <yazen.ghannam@....com>
Type 40 entries (Additional Information) are summarized in section 7.41
as part of the SMBIOS specification. Generally, these entries aren't
interesting to save.
However on some AMD Zen systems, the AGESA version is stored here. This
is useful to save to the kernel message logs for debugging. It can be
used to cross-reference issues.
Implement an iterator for the Additional Information entries. Use this
to find and print the AGESA string. Do so in AMD code, since the use
case is AMD-specific.
