[RFC PATCH 1/2] efi: expose efivar generic ops register function

From: Masahisa Kojima
Date: Thu Jan 26 2023 - 08:22:41 EST


This is a preparation for supporting efivar operations
provided by other than efi subsystem.
Both register and unregister functions are exposed
so that non-efi subsystem can revert the efi generic
operation.
