An update that contains one feature can now be installed.

## Description:

This update for dmidecode fixes the following issues:

  * Update to upstream version 3.7 (jsc#PED-16217):
    * 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 HPE OEM records 203, 216, 242 and 245.
    * EDSFF slot names now include their .S/.L suffix.
  * Preserve the use of term "BIOS" to avoid breaking customer scripts.
  * Preserve the use of non-binary units to avoid breaking customer scripts.
  * Drop legacy "Provides:" and "Obsoletes:" tags. The split from the pmtools
    package happened 15 years ago so they are no longer relevant.
