This patch set is motivated by the discussion[1] regarding
CONFIG_BOOTEFI_BOOTMGR option.
# It has been partially merged in -next branch. So this version (v3)
# contains only the remaining commits.
At the end, bootefi.c will be decomposed into two parts, one for
providing the command itself and one for implementing helper functions.
EFI_LOADER will now be available without CONFIG_CMDLINE or specifically
CONFIG_CMD_BOOTEFI if invoked via bootmeth/bootstd.
Then, EFI_LOADER library side will be further split into two options
for fine-grain control:
CONFIG_EFI_BINARY_EXEC: execute UEFI binaries which are to be explicitly
loaded by U-Boot's load commands/functions or other methods
(like a jtag debugger?)
It supports bootmeth_efi as well as "bootefi <addr>|hello"(/"bootm"?).
CONFIG_EFI_BOOTMGR: provide EFI boot manger functionality
It supports bootmeth_efi_mgr as well as "bootefi bootmgr".
As such, We will no longer need CONFIG_EFI_BINARY_EXEC if we want to only
make use of the UEFI boot manger for booting a next stage OS.
