On several systems Linux logs:

i2c i2c-0: Memory type 0x22 not supported yet, not instantiating SPD

1. Supermicro Super Server/X13SAE, BIOS 2.0 10/17/2022
2. Dell Inc. Precision 3660/0PRR48, BIOS 2.9.3 11/22/2023
3. Dell Inc. OptiPlex SFF Plus 7010/0YGWFV, BIOS 1.7.1 08/11/2023
4. Run `git grep 'emory type.*supported yet, not instantiating SPD'` in
the repository of dmesg reports for various computers collected by
Linux users at https://linux-hardware.org. [1]

Add 0x22 and 0x23 for DDR5 according to section 7.18.2 (Memory Device —
Type), table 78 in *System Management BIOS (SMBIOS) Reference
Specification*, version 3.6.0 [2].

The same name *ee1004* as for DDR4 is used.

Successfully tested on Supermicro Super Server/X13SAE, BIOS 2.0 10/17/2022:

1. I have no idea if the name ee1004 is correct.
2. Should I test other things besides looking at the Linux messages?
