Subject: [Patch v2] firmware: dmi_scan: fix dmi scan to handle "End of Table" structure

The dmi-sysfs should create "End of Table" entry, that is type 127.
But after adding initial SMBIOS v3 support the 127-0 entry is not
handled any more, as result it's not created in sysfs.
This is important because the size of whole DMI table must correspond
to sum of all DMI entry sizes.

So move "end-of-table" check after it's handled by decode.

Move end of table check after it's handled instead of removing

The way that the commit log is written makes this sound like a
regression. If that's the case, then you need to list which commit
introduced the regression, because that will tell me whether it needs
tagging for stable.

Ok, I'll correct commit msg like:

But after adding initial SMBIOS v3 support (fc43026278b23b3515cf8f909ec29df94b3ae1a2)
the 127-0 entry is nothandled any more, as result it's not created in sysfs.

Sounds good. FYI, the canonical way to reference commits is commit
<12-digit hash> ("<commit title>"), e.g...

But after adding initial SMBIOS v3 support in commit fc43026278b2
("dmi: add support for SMBIOS 3.0 64-bit entry point") the 127-0 entry
is not handled any more, as a result it's not created in sysfs.
