Per a conversation on #linaro-enterprise this may require other patches and may, therefore, not be an issue.

<anmar> frobware: i think you are missing some patches that Yi35953 has.
<Yi35953> frobware: do you apply the kernel patch and UEFI patch for SMBIOS?
<frobware> anmar: oh!
<anmar> frobware: if you can point me at the image, that would be grat.
<anmar> great
<frobware> Yi35953: nope. I just saw anmar's question and had an image booted so I thought I'd try it.
<frobware> anmar: locally built image as of this morning.
<anmar> frobware: Ah.. I see.
<anmar> Yi35953: we need to get our patches in place for this to work. I will arrange with leiflindholm

Obviously, we need a SMBIOS enabled kernel. However, we also need a proper fallback, hence I reassign this bug to linaro-aarch64 project.
