[Bug 817213] [NEW] Spaces instead of mainboard vendor name in dmesg DMI: line

[Bryce Nesbitt]

Public bug reported:

For the system the "DMI:" line in dmesg output should show:
[    0.000000] DMI: Intel Corporation/DX58SO2, BIOS SOX5820J.86A.0817.2011.0630.1910 06/30/2011

But it actually replaces the vendor name with spaces, character for character:
[    0.000000] DMI:                  /DX58SO2, BIOS SOX5820J.86A.0817.2011.0630.1910 06/30/2011

DMI Decode gets it right:
hardhat:popularity-contest> sudo dmidecode --string baseboard-manufacturer
Intel Corporation
hardhat:popularity-contest> sudo dmidecode --string baseboard-product-name
DX58SO2
hardhat:popularity-contest> sudo dmidecode --string bios-vendor
Intel Corp.

In the kernel this line is produced by  __init dmi_dump_ids(void) in
dmi_scan.c
