dmidecode assumes SMBIOS compliant system information which ppc64le systems don't provide. There are other architecture neutral way of getting information like system id, one of the most common use of dmidecode I have seen. "lshw" is a good option to get more platform details in a generic way that is supported on ppc64le.

Thanks
