spdmem* at iic? addr 0x52
spdmem* at iic? addr 0x53
DESCRIPTION
The spdmem driver provides support for generic memory module Serial Pres‐
ence Detect. During kernel boot it displays module type, and where pos‐
sible, the size and rated speed of the memory module. Additional infor‐
mation such as bank configuration and width is printed if the kernel is
booted in verbose mode.
The Serial Presence Detect data for each memory module is also made
accessible to user mode via sysctl(8). An entry for each spdmem device
is created under the hw top-level MIB.
