Dell Revisions and IDs (Type 208)

Source: Dell libsmbios, doc/smbios23.xml.

The source gives the structure a length of 0x0C, while the firmware of Dell systems writes structures of other lengths too: shorter ones end after the system ID extension, at 0x0A, and have no dates, and longer ones carry bytes past the first power-on date which no source describes.
