smbios: add support for dynamic generation of Type 19 table

2026-02-18T14:27:51+00:00

This commit implements SMBIOS Type 19 (Memory Array Mapped Address)
generation with a hybrid approach supporting both:

1. Explicit definition via Device Tree 'smbios' node:
   Child node under '/smbios/smbios/memory-array-mapped-address' will be
   used to populate as individual Type 19 structure directly.
   - Properties follow SMBIOS field names with lowercase letters and
     hyphen-separated words (e.g., 'starting-address', 'ending-address',
     'partition-width', etc.).
   - This method supports precise platform-defined overrides and system
     descriptions.

2. Fallback to automatic DT-based discovery:
   If child node under '/smbios/smbios/memory-array-mapped-address' does
   not exist, the implementation will:
   - Scan all top-level 'memory@' nodes to populate Type 19 structure with
     inferred size and location data.
   - Scan nodes named or marked as 'memory-controller' and parse
     associated 'dimm@' subnodes (if present) to extract DIMM sizes and
     map them accordingly.

This dual-mode support enables flexible firmware SMBIOS reporting while
aligning with spec-compliant naming and runtime-detected memory topology.

Type 19 support is under GENERATE_SMBIOS_TABLE_VERBOSE to avoid
increasing rom size for those platforms which only require basic SMBIOS
support.

smbios: add support for dynamic generation of Type 17 table

2026-02-18T14:27:51+00:00

This commit implements SMBIOS Type 17 (Memory Device) generation with a
hybrid approach supporting both:

1. Explicit definition via Device Tree 'smbios' node:
   Child node under '/smbios/smbios/memory-device' will be used to
   populate as individual Type 17 structure directly.
   - Properties follow SMBIOS field names with lowercase letters and
     hyphen-separated words (e.g., 'physical-memory-array-handle',
     ' memory-error-information-handle', 'configured-memory-speed', etc.).
   - This method supports precise platform-defined overrides and system
     descriptions.

2. Fallback to automatic DT-based discovery:
   If child node under '/smbios/smbios/memory-device' does not exist,
   the implementation will:

     inferred size and location data.

smbios: add support for dynamic generation of Type 16 table

2026-02-18T14:27:51+00:00

This commit implements SMBIOS Type 16 (Physical Memory Array)
generation with a hybrid approach supporting both:

1. Explicit definition via Device Tree 'smbios' node:
   Child node under '/smbios/smbios/memory-array' will be used to
   populate as individual Type 16 structure directly.
   - Properties follow SMBIOS field names with lowercase letters and
     hyphen-separated words (e.g., 'memory-error-correction',
     'maximum-capacity', 'extended-maximum-capacity', etc.).
   - This method supports precise platform-defined overrides and system
     descriptions.

2. Fallback to automatic DT-based discovery:
   If child node under '/smbios/smbios/memory-array' does not exist,

smbios: add support for dynamic generation of Type 9 system slot tables

2026-02-18T14:27:51+00:00

This commit introduces support for generating SMBIOS Type 9 (System Slot)
tables using a hybrid approach:

1. Explicit Device Tree definitions:
   Child node under '/smbios/smbios/system-slot' will be interpreted as
   individual slot definitions.
   - Each child represents a slot (e.g., isa, pcmcia, etc.).
   - Properties follow the SMBIOS specification using lowercase
     hyphen-separated names such as 'slot-type', 'slot-id',
     'segment-group-number', 'bus-number', 'slot-information', etc.
   - This approach allows full customization of each system slot and is
     especially suitable for platforms with well-defined slot topology.

2. Automatic detection fallback:
   If child node under '/smbios/smbios/system-slot' does not exist, the
   implementation will scan the entire device tree for nodes whose
   'device_type' matches known slot-related types ("pci", "isa", "pcmcia",
   etc.).
   - When a match is found, default values or heuristics are applied to
     populate to the System Slot table.
   - This mode is useful for platforms that lack explicit SMBIOS nodes
     but still expose slot topology via standard DT conventions.

Together, two approaches ensure that SMBIOS Type 9 entries are available
whether explicitly described or automatically derived.

smbios: Refactor the smbios headfile

2025-01-14T20:29:29+00:00

Move the smbios field definitions to a separated simple headfile,
which is a prerequisite to be included by dts files.
Add new definitions for cache information.
This patch also includes a few of code optimizations in smbios.
