[PATCH] efi: libstub: Rename utf8_to_utf32() to avoid collision with NLS version

From: Nathan Chancellor
Date: Tue Mar 25 2025 - 17:31:25 EST


A future change will add nls.h to string.h, which will break the libstub
build because NLS includes its own version of utf8_to_utf32():

drivers/firmware/efi/libstub/printk.c:27:5: error: static declaration of 'utf8_to_utf32' follows non-static declaration
27 | u32 utf8_to_utf32(const u8 **s8)
| ^
include/linux/nls.h:55:12: note: previous declaration is here
55 | extern int utf8_to_utf32(const u8 *s, int len, unicode_t *pu);
| ^
drivers/firmware/efi/libstub/printk.c:85:26: error: too few arguments to function call, expected 3, have 1

55 | extern int utf8_to_utf32(const u8 *s, int len, unicode_t *pu);

2 errors generated.

Rename the libstub version since it is static to avoid the conflict.

Then the first patch (which becomes the second) becomes:

with basically the same changelog.

I will send v2 either tomorrow afternoon or Thursday morning to give a
little more time for initial review/comments.

Thanks for the quick feedback!
