[PATCH v2 0/1] dmioem: HPE OEM Record 237 Firmware change

[Jerry Hoemann]

Address an incompatible change to record type 237.  Field in offest 0x09
changed from a STRING to a WORD date.  This causes the decode of these
records to display <BAD INDEX>.

Fixes: cdab638dabb7 ("dmioem: Decode HPE OEM Record 237")

== version 1 ==

The patch addresses both forms of the record. This is accomplished
by inferring the size of the offset 0x09 field based upon total record
size.


=== version 2 ===

To best knowledge firmware was never implemented and released using
offset 0x09 as STRING.  So, simplify the patch to assume that field
at offset 0x09 if present, is WORD date.

For clarification, the description table in dmioem.c, shows the date
as two BYTE entries: one for year, the other for week.
