Bug Description
Doing certification testing we got a failure like this in dmi_decode:
00047 dmi_decode FAILED [MEDIUM] DMIOutOfSpec: Test 1, DMI type System Boot: Out of spec check.
00048 dmi_decode DMI table dump:
00049 dmi_decode # dmidecode 2.9
00050 dmi_decode SMBIOS 2.5 present.
00051 dmi_decode Handle 0x0027, DMI type 32, 20 bytes
00052 dmi_decode System Boot Information
00053 dmi_decode Status: <OUT OF SPEC>
Apparently this is not an important problem. It would be better if fwts didn't fail on things that don't really matter so this test could be more robust.
