Subject: [PATCH] drivers/firmware/dmi_scan.c: check dmi version when get
 system uuid

commit f1d8e614d74b09531b9a85e812485340f3df7b1c upstream.

As of version 2.6 of the SMBIOS specification, the first 3 fields of the
UUID are supposed to be little-endian encoded.

Also a minor fix to match variable meaning and mute checkpatch.pl
