Description:

   This feature update for dmidecode fixes the following issues:

   Update dmidecode from version 3.2 to version 3.4 (jsc#SLE-24502,
   jsc#SLE-24591, jsc#PED-411):

   - Add bios-revision, firmware-revision and system-sku-number to `-s` option
   - Decode HPE OEM records 194, 199, 203, 236, 237, 238 ans 240
   - Decode system slot base bus width and peers
   - Document how the UUID fields are interpreted
   - Don't display the raw CPU ID in quiet mode
   - Don't use memcpy on /dev/mem on arm64
   - Fix OEM vendor name matching
   - Fix small typo in NEWS file
   - Improve the formatting of the manual pages
   - Present HPE type 240 attributes as a proper list instead of packing them
     on a single line. This makes it more readable overall, and will also
     scale better if the number of attributes increases
   - Skip details of uninstalled memory modules
   - Support for SMBIOS 3.4.0. This includes new memory device types, new
     processor upgrades, new slot types and characteristics, decoding of
     memor module extended speed, new system slot types, new processor
     characteristic and new format of Processor ID
   - Support for SMBIOS 3.5.0. This includes new processor upgrades, BIOS
     characteristics, new slot characteristics, new
     on-board device types, new pointing device interface types, and a new
