Subject[GIT pull] efi fix for 4.19
From
Date
Greg,

please pull the latest efi-urgent-for-linus git tree from:

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip.git efi-urgent-for-linus

Make the EFI arm stub device tree loader default on to unbreak existing
EFI boot loaders which do not have DTB support.


Thanks,

tglx

Select this config option to add support for the dtb= command
line parameter, allowing a device tree blob to be loaded into
memory from the EFI System Partition by the stub.

- The device tree is typically provided by the platform or by
- the bootloader, so this option is mostly for development
- purposes only.
+ If the device tree is provided by the platform or by
+ the bootloader this option may not be needed.
+ But, for various development reasons and to maintain existing
+ functionality for bootloaders that do not have such support
+ this option is necessary.

config EFI_BOOTLOADER_CONTROL
tristate "EFI Bootloader Control"
