[PATCH] efi/efivars: Create efivars mount point in the registration of efivars abstraction

From: Lee, Chun-Yi
Date: Thu Sep 24 2020 - 04:28:43 EST


This patch moved the logic of creating efivars mount point to the
registration of efivars abstraction. It's useful for userland to
determine the availability of efivars filesystem by checking the
existence of mount point.

The 'efivars' platform device be created on generic EFI runtime services
platform, so it can be used to determine the availability of efivarfs.
But this approach is not available for google gsmi efivars abstraction.

This patch be tested on Here on qemu-OVMF and qemu-uboot.
