  Upstream patches:
  https://github.com/lyonel/lshw/commit/18edc98f9d08883f340087cfefbdf05c585d56f7
  and
  https://github.com/lyonel/lshw/commit/503c76a35a9e97a098af7c1ac793a7e13c07ce70

  should fix the version and missing -json option issues respectively.

  Kindly cherry pick them and verify.

  Thanks!
