[Bug 1351921] Re: lshw needs DDR3 support

[dann frazier]

Attached is a diff between the trusty and trusty-proposed lshw output.
As you can see, the ECC capability is now shown.

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.
