## Description:

This update for dmidecode fixes the following issues:

  * Update to upstream version 3.7 (jsc#PED-16714):
    * Memory sizes use binary unit prefixes.
    * The word "Firmware" is now used instead of "BIOS".
    * Support for SMBIOS 3.8.0. This includes a new processor family.
    * Support for SMBIOS 3.9.0. This includes chassis type name adjustments, new rack attributes, slot ID for more slot types, and new memory device form factors and types.
    * Decode HPE OEM records 193, 195, 202, 211, 226, 229, 232 and 244.

  * Update for HPE servers from upstream:
    * Decode PCI bus segment in HPE type 238 records.
  * Drop legacy Provides: and Obsoletes: tags. The split from the pmtools
