Hello Canonical,

IBM is actively working on enhancing lshw to support ppc64le platform.
Couple of our patches are already in upstream ... which is available in
B.02.18 .. it was released sometime back [1][2].

[1] http://ezix.org/software/files/lshw-B.02.18.tar.gz
[2] https://github.com/lyonel/lshw.git

Also we have requested upstream maintainer to accept few more patches
which are mostly specific to IBM Power System (like attached patch which
provides FW information on PowerNV host).

Can you please rebase lshw to b.02.18 and apply attached patch?

-Vasant
