[Bug 1630480] Re: libsmbios doesn't support SMBIOS version 3

[Mario Limonciello]

$4, I've uploaded 2.3.1 release into yakkety (pending AA acceptance) and
your debdiff into xenial.

** Description changed:

- The upstream has a patch in the mailing list.
+ [Impact]
  
- http://lists.us.dell.com/pipermail/libsmbios-devel/2016-June/000659.html
+  * Platforms that don't have SMBIOS 3.0 tables won't be affected
+  * Platforms with SMBIOS 3.0 tables can use libsmbios tools for performing commands and manipulating BIOS objects.
+ 
+ [Test Case]
+ 
+  * On a platform with an SMBIOS 3 table, try to list all tokens using
+ smbios-token-ctl:
+ 
+ # smbios-token-ctl -d
+ 
+ [Regression Potential]
+ 
+ * Regression potential is low.  this change was made upstream already
+ and is a very small change.
