A bunch of DMI string indexes appear to be incorrect, so the DMI tables
are a bit buggy in places. Only DMI field type 41 (Onboard Devices
Extended Information) seems to be accessible by the kernel (dmi_decode,
drivers/firmware/dmi_scan.c), which checks that this a broken index and
returns and empty string for the device name. So, it has limited
impact, it just means that the DMI info is lacking for this device.
If it is possible to get the DMI information fixed then that would be
useful, but this is not necessarily a show stopping bug.
