      4Description:
      5		Get mainboard and BIOS info easily on the Loongson platform,
      6		this is useful to point out the current used mainboard type
      7		and BIOS version when there exists problems related with
      8		hardware or firmware.
      9
     10		The related structures are already defined in the interface
     11		specification about firmware and kernel which are common
     12		requirement and specific for Loongson64, so only add a new
     13		boardinfo.c file in arch/mips/loongson64.
     14
     15		For example:
     16
     17		[loongson@linux ~]$ cat /sys/firmware/lefi/boardinfo
     18		Board Info
     19		Manufacturer            : LEMOTE
     20		Board Name              : LEMOTE-LS3A4000-7A1000-1w-V01-pc
     21		Family                  : LOONGSON3
     22
     23		BIOS Info
     24		Vendor                  : Kunlun
     25		Version                 : Kunlun-A1901-V4.1.3-20200414093938
     26		ROM Size                : 4 KB
     27		Release Date            : 2020-04-14
     28
     29		By the way, using dmidecode command can get the similar info if there
     30		exists SMBIOS in firmware, but the fact is that there is no SMBIOS on
     31		some machines, we can see nothing when execute dmidecode, like this:
     32
     33		[root@linux loongson]# dmidecode
     34		# dmidecode 2.12
     35		# No SMBIOS nor DMI entry point found, sorry.
