Does this blow up the image size? These strings only in the debug side before.
It was to avoid image size increase that I added
+#ifdef CONFIG_CMD_EFIDEBUG
Having said that, I would much rather see a string than a guid, which
I consider to be little more than an obfuscation.
That was my motivation. When debugging a boot failure I set DEBUG in
lib/efi_loader/efi_boottime.c and reading GUIDs in the debug output was not
helpful.
But setting DEBUG in efi_boottime.c doesn't lead to CONFIG_CMD_EFIDEBUG
being on in uuid.c. Do we want to have a more direct CONFIG?
We could use CONFIG_LOGLEVEL >= LOGL_DEBUG because once that loglevel is
set you can use the log command to log one of the EFI related functions.
Overall the EFI debugging requires rethinking:
If you simply add '#define DEFINE 1' to the top of
lib/efi_loader/efi_boottime your screen will be flooded by function
calls related to timer events. Probably those high frequency events
should use LOGL_DEBUG_IO.
