Bug Description

[Impact]
lshw currently assumes memory described by device-tree is DDR2, which makes assumptions invalid for DDR3.
Specifically, it is unable to detect ecc and spd capabilities - so things like ECC support are not exposed.
[Test Case]
Run lshw on a device-tree-based system with DDR3 RAM and observe that no ECC capability is shown
[Regression Potential]
Because this changes how the output for DDR2 ram is generated, there is a potential that the expected output changes on existing device-tree based systems with DDR2.

Hello dann, or anyone else affected,

Accepted lshw into trusty-proposed. The package will build now and be available at http://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lshw/02.16-2ubuntu1.1 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug, mentioning the version of the package you tested, and change the tag from verification-needed to verification-done. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-failed. In either case, details of your testing will help us make a better decision.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance!

Attached is a diff between the trusty and trusty-proposed lshw output. As you can see, the ECC capability is now shown.
