[pve-devel] [PATCH edk2-firmware] fix #4625: restore SMBIOS type 0 table defaults

[Fiona Ebner]

Commit 4cb94f20b0 ("OvmfPkg/SmbiosPlatformDxe: use PcdFirmware*") in
the edk2 submodule made the switch from hard coded values for the
SMBIOS type 0 table to using those defined in the PCD (Platform
Configuration Database). But this changed the value for the vendor
from "EFI Development Kit II / OVMF" to "EDK II" and made version and
release date "unknown". This can cause problems for hardware keys[0],
and the missing date can make Windows unhappy[1]. Just revert to the
hardcoded values from before, but do it by specifing them for the PCD
during build.
