+From: Ben Hutchings <ben@decadent.org.uk>
+Subject: dmi_scan: fix missing check for _DMI_ signature in smbios_present()
+
+Commit 9f9c9cbb6057 ('drivers/firmware/dmi_scan.c: fetch dmi version from
+SMBIOS if it exists') hoisted the check for "_DMI_" into
+dmi_scan_machine(), which means that we don't bother to check for "_DMI_"
+at offset 16 in an SMBIOS entry.  smbios_present() may also call
+dmi_present() for an address where we found "_SM_", if it failed further
+validation.
+
+Check for "_DMI_" in smbios_present() before calling dmi_present().
