Jean Delvare 145b7e06de firmware: dmi_scan: Fix UUID length safety check
[ Upstream commit 90fe6f8ff00a07641ca893d64f75ca22ce77cca2 ]

The test which ensures that the DMI type 1 structure is long enough
to hold the UUID is off by one. It would fail if the structure is
exactly 24 bytes long, while that's sufficient to hold the UUID.

I don't expect this bug to cause problem in practice because all
implementations I have seen had length 8, 25 or 27 bytes, in line
with the SMBIOS specifications. But let's fix it still.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
