Hello. Despite that I did not compile my kernel from scratch I am probably in the wrong i place because those issues are probably to be reported at bugzilla.kernel.org instead.

decode-dimms v. 4.4
---

Issue 1
No path to the component displayed; occurs with '--format' too.

$ decode-dimms --side-by-side
Decoding EEPROM                                  6-0050

For comparison | Full path to the component displayed

$ decode-dimms
Decoding EEPROM: /sys/bus/i2c/drivers/ee1004/6-0050

Which is likely to be the intended bahaviour.

Issue 2
Link pages served as HTTPS, not HTTP.

$ decode-dimms --format

i2c-tools maintainer here.

Issue 1 is not an issue. For multiple DIMMs, there is simply not enough space for the whole path if you put them side by side. You only had 1 DIMM, so this was maybe not obvious. Check [1] for an example with multiple DIMMS.

Issue 2 is an issue and I sent patches to fix it upstream. Thank you for the report!
