[Bug 1351921] Re: lshw needs DDR3 support

[Chris J Arges]

Hello dann, or anyone else affected,

Accepted lshw into trusty-proposed. The package will build now and be
available at http://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lshw/02.16-2ubuntu1.1
in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package.  See
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to
enable and use -proposed.  Your feedback will aid us getting this update
out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug,
mentioning the version of the package you tested, and change the tag
from verification-needed to verification-done. If it does not fix the
bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to
verification-failed.  In either case, details of your testing will help
us make a better decision.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification .  Thank you in
advance!

Title:
  lshw needs DDR3 support

Status in “lshw” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “lshw” source package in Trusty:
  Fix Committed
Status in “lshw” package in Debian:
  New

Bug description:
  [Impact]
  lshw currently assumes memory described by device-tree is DDR2, which makes assumptions invalid for DDR3.
  Specifically, it is unable to detect ecc and spd capabilities - so things like ECC support are not exposed.
  [Test Case]
  Run lshw on a device-tree-based system with DDR3 RAM and observe that no ECC capability is shown
  [Regression Potential]
  Because this changes how the output for DDR2 ram is generated, there is a potential that the expected output changes on existing device-tree based systems with DDR2.
