This directory was created when U-Boot gained the ability to run as an
EFI app in 2015. Since then the EFI-loader feature has been added.

The code in lib/efi is not actually used by the loader, so the name is
confusing.

Rename the directory to efi_client to indicate that it includes files
just for U-Boot being a client of EFI, i.e. the EFI app and stub.

After some header file cleanups to add missing include files, remove
common.h from all files in the lib directory. This primarily means just
dropping the line but in a few cases we need to add in other header
files now.

<title>efi: Move exit_boot_services into a function</title>

At present this code is inline in the app and stub. But they do the same
thing. The difference is that the stub does it immediately and the app
doesn't want to do it until the end (when it boots a kernel) or not at
all, if returning to UEFI.

Move it into a function so it can be called as needed.

Add a comment showing how to store the memory map so that it can be
accessed within the app if needed, for debugging purposes only. The map
can change without notice.

At present dm/device.h includes the linux-compatible features. This
requires including linux/compat.h which in turn includes a lot of headers.
One of these is malloc.h which we thus end up including in every file in
U-Boot. Apart from the inefficiency of this, it is problematic for sandbox
which needs to use the system malloc() in some files.

Move the compatibility features into a separate header file.

<title>efi_loader: consistent naming of protocol GUIDs</title>

We should consistently use the same name for protocol GUIDs as defined in
the UEFI specification. Not adhering to this rule has led to duplicate
definitions for the EFI_LOADED_IMAGE_PROTOCOL_GUID.

Adjust misnamed protocol GUIDs.

Adjust the text for the graphics output protocol in the output of the
`efidebug dh` command.

All our handles point to a struct efi_object. So let's define the
efi_handle_t accordingly. This helps us to discover coding errors much
more easily. This becomes evident by the corrections to the usage of
handles in this patch.

Rename variable image_handle to image_obj where applicable.

<title>SPDX: Convert all of our single license tags to Linux Kernel style</title>
<updated>2018-05-07T13:34:12+00:00</updated>

<id>83d290c56fab2d38cd1ab4c4cc7099559c1d5046</id>
<content type='text'>
When U-Boot started using SPDX tags we were among the early adopters and
there weren't a lot of other examples to borrow from.  So we picked the
area of the file that usually had a full license text and replaced it
with an appropriate SPDX-License-Identifier: entry.  Since then, the
Linux Kernel has adopted SPDX tags and they place it as the very first
line in a file (except where shebangs are used, then it's second line)
and with slightly different comment styles than us.

In part due to community overlap, in part due to better tag visibility
and in part for other minor reasons, switch over to that style.

This commit changes all instances where we have a single declared
license in the tag as both the before and after are identical in tag
contents.  There's also a few places where I found we did not have a tag
and have introduced one.

We have a large number of places where while we historically referenced
gd in the code we no longer do, as well as cases where the code added
that line "just in case" during development and never dropped it.
