I think you are wrong. Keep in mind that the biossums utility already calculated the correct checksums for the DMI structure for the whole SMBIOS structure and for the whole BIOS when the code was compiled. Now we change some elements in the DMI structure and adapt the checksum of this structure. Because the DMI checksum is part of the whole SMBIOS structure, the overall SMBIOS checksum does not change (the new DMI checksum neutralizes the change in the DMI table and neither the checksum for the whole BIOS changes.
