Yes, I'm doing that. I said to Heinrich that I'd wait to see what happened with those three patches and then do some more. They are in CI so I'll post them soon. But I also mentioned to Heinrich that I don't think I am the right person to undertake all the refactoring work - moving EFI-loader code out to lib/efi etc. I'm not a maintainer for lib/efi_loader and my track record of getting patches in there is not good. We have the U-Boot versus EFI memory-allocation problem and my ideas for that have already been rejected. So at the moment I'm not planning to go that much further in your tree, unless there is somehow a future meeting of the minds. Perhaps Heinrich or Linaro will be able to work on it and then we can re-unify things down the track? Regards, Simon
