shield Recommended update for biosdevname
SUSE-SLE-Module-Basesystem-15-SP2-2020-2630

This update for biosdevname fixes the following issues: - Read DMI info rom sysfs. (bsc#1174491) A kernel with Secure Boot lockdown may prohibit reading the contents of /dev/mem, hence biosdevname fails. The recent kernel provides the DMI byte contents in /sys/firmware/dmi/tables/*. - Add buffer read helper using read explicitly. mmap can't work well with a sysfs file and it's required to read the contents explicitly via read, even if USE_MMAP is enabled.
