Here are 4 more that I stumbled over while maintaining our FW ISO:
* The latest BIOS for the T630 (DELL ID GK2F7) shows under 'Supported
Devices' "Server BIOS 12G".
* All OSC 1.1 FW updates (Dell ID 776YN, 5D53Y, 5W2KP, PWMC8) shows under
'Supported Devices' "OS COLLECTOR 2.1" which is obviously contradicting.
* Backplane 12G SEP (for 8 drives or less) v1.00 (DELL ID 681JN) fails
Collecting Inventory
* The 11G SAS/SATA FlexBay Backplane Firmware Update v1.09 shows 'Supported
Platforms' "PowerEdge T710", but when you execute it under Linux it will
show that it's compatible with a T610 and apply the FW update successfully.

These are all Linux FW updates, I'm not sure if the windows releases are
also affected.
