  <description>This update for smartmontools fixes the following issues:

- Restart smartd and generate smartd_opts only if there are real sysconfig changes; do not trigger generate_smartd_opts by YaST, systemd is enough. (bsc#1195785)

- Update smartmontools to the latest version from the upstream branch. (jsc#SLE-21751)
-  Fix update needed logic.

- update to 7.2 (jsc#SLE-21751):
  - smartctl: New option '--json=y[c]' selects YAML output.
  - smartctl '-i': Prints ATA TRIM and Zoned Device capabilities.
  - smartctl '-j': Fixed 'scsi_grown_defect_list' value.
  - smartctl '-a': Prints SCSI 'Accumulated power on time'.
  - smartctl '-n POWERMODE': SCSI support.
  - smartctl '-s standby,now' and '-s standby,off': SCSI support.
  - smartctl '-c': NVMe 1.4 additions.
  - smartd: Support for staggered self-tests.
  - smartd: No longer writes attribute log if no attributes were read
    due to standby mode or other error.
  - smartd: Now resolves symlinks before device names are checked for
    duplicates.
  - smartd: Fixed SMARTD_DEVICETYPE environment variable if DEVICESCAN is
    used without '-d TYPE'.
  - ATA: Device type '-d jmb39x-q,N' for JMB39x protocol variant used by
    some QNAP NAS devices.
  - ATA: Device type '-d jms56x,N' for JMS562 USB to SATA RAID bridges.
  - SCSI: Improved heuristics for log subpages of new and very old disks.
  - NVMe: Log transfer size limited to avoid device or kernel crashes.
  - NVMEe/USB: Device type '-d sntrealtek' for Realtek RTL9210 USB to
    NVMe bridges.
  - update-smart-drivedb: New option '--branch X.Y'.
  - HDD, SSD and USB additions to drive database.
  - Dropped support for pre-C99 snprintf().
  - configure: Dropped option '--without-working-snprintf'.
  - configure: Fixed '-fstack-protector*' detection.
  - Linux: Various fixes of smartd.service file (bsc#1183699).
  - Darwin: NVMe log support.
  - FreeBSD: Device scan does no longer include T_ENCLOSURE devices.
  - NetBSD: Fixed timeout handling.
  - NetBSD big endian: Fixed ATA register handling.
  - OpenBSD: Fixed timeout handling.
  - Windows: Dropped backward compatibility fixes for very old compilers. 

- Update to version 7.1:
  - smartctl: Fixed bogus exception on unknown form factor value.
  - smartctl '--json=cg': Suppresses extra spaces also in 'g' format.
  - smartctl '-i': ATA ACS-4 and ACS-5 enhancements.
  - smartd: No longer truncates very long device names in warning emails.
  - smartd: No longer skips scheduled tests if system clock has been adjusted to the past.
  - smartd '-A': Attribute logs now use local time instead of UTC.
  - Autodetection of '-d sntjmicron' type for JMicron USB to NVMe bridges.
  - Fixed segfault on CCISS transfer sizes.
  - Fixed smartd.service 'Type' if libsystemd-dev is not available.
  - Fixed '/dev/megaraid_sas_ioctl_node' fd leak.
