Description
After fixing 9573, I went through and looked for cases where we would have failed to trigger this behavior. One case was in the BIOS table. Shortly after adding this, I noticed that we were now printing the embedded controller firmware image which we previously did not due to 9573.
It turns out in one of the smbios images we had constructed, the value being printed for the version was 255.255. Reviewing the standard indicates that this means that such an embedded controller is not present. As such, if we have a major and minor of that level, we shouldn't print that information.
