[PATCH 5/9] virt: efi_secret: Transition to the faux device interface
From: Sudeep Holla
Date: Mon Mar 17 2025 - 06:15:21 EST
The EFI secret area driver does not require the creation of a platform
device. Originally, this approach was chosen for simplicity when the
driver was first implemented.
With the introduction of the lightweight faux device interface, we now
have a more appropriate alternative. Migrate the driver to utilize the
faux bus, given that the platform device it previously created was not
a real one anyway. This will simplify the code, reducing its footprint
while maintaining functionality.
