[U-Boot] [PATCH 1/2] efi_loader: run CreateEvent() notify function based on flags

Sun Mar 12 08:26:06 UTC 2017


The UEFI specification states that the tpl, function and context
arguments are to be ignored if neither EVT_NOTIFY_WAIT or
EVT_NOTIFY_SIGNAL are specified.  This matches observed behaviour with
an AMI EDK2 based UEFI implementation.

Skip calling the notify function if neither flag is present.
