It's not a typo. Its got the wrong number of fields so the hint scanner=20
disables it.
if (strncmp(cp, "hint.", 5) !=3D 0)
hit =3D 0;
else
n =3D sscanf(cp, "hint.%32[^.].%d.%32[^=3D]=3D%128s=
",
r_name, &r_unit, r_resname, r_value);
if (hit && n !=3D 4) {
printf("CONFIG: invalid hint '%s'\n", cp);
p =3D index(cp, 'h');
*p =3D 'H';
hit =3D 0;
}
hint.smbios.0.planar.version is an illegal hint. It has 5 fields, not=20
4. These are not free-form strings.
=2D-=20
