Smbios Type9 "slot type" show x16 PCI Express x16

Hi team,

Why "DataBusWidth" value show in "Type", it should be "PCI Express x16", not "x16 PCI Express x16".

This output (with the slot bus width shown separately and as part of the slot type text) is defined in the upstream original source of dmidecode. So this is not Ubuntu-related, but seems to be valid for all operating systems that use that source.

Snippet of dmidecode.c from http://download.savannah.gnu.org/releases/dmidecode/dmidecode-3.5.tar.xz
...
static void dmi_slot_type_with_width(u8 type, u8 width)
{
 const char *type_str, *width_str;

 type_str = dmi_slot_type(type);
 width_str = dmi_slot_bus_width(width, 1);

 if (width_str)
  pr_attr("Type", "%s %s", width_str, type_str);
 else
  pr_attr("Type", "%s", type_str);
}

If you see the need to have that changed, then please contact http://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/dmidecode

dmidecode 3.3 source code:

case 9: /* 7.10 System Slots */
   pr_handle_name("System Slot Information");
   if (h->length < 0x0C) break;
   pr_attr("Designation", "%s",
    dmi_string(h, data[0x04]));
   pr_attr("Type", "%s%s",
    dmi_slot_bus_width(data[0x06]),
    dmi_slot_type(data[0x05]));
   pr_attr("Current Usage", "%s",
    dmi_slot_current_usage(data[0x07]));
   pr_attr("Length", "%s",
    dmi_slot_length(data[0x08]));
   dmi_slot_id(data[0x09], data[0x0A], data[0x05]);
   if (h->length < 0x0D)
    dmi_slot_characteristics("Characteristics", data[0x0B], 0x00);
   else
    dmi_slot_characteristics("Characteristics", data[0x0B], data[0x0C]);
   if (h->length < 0x11) break;
   dmi_slot_segment_bus_func(WORD(data + 0x0D), data[0x0F], data[0x10]);
   if (h->length < 0x13) break;
   pr_attr("Data Bus Width", "%u", data[0x11]);
   pr_attr("Peer Devices", "%u", data[0x12]);
   if (h->length - 0x13 >= data[0x12] * 5)
    dmi_slot_peers(data[0x12], data + 0x13);
   break;

you can see for Data Bus Width, no any out put value for it, like this: dmi_slot_bus_width(data[0x06]),

Before going into details, which Ubuntu release and which version of dmidecode are you running?
What is the output of the following commands (to be executed in a terminal windiw)

uname -a
lsb_release -crid
apt policy dmidecode
