[U-Boot] EFI: incorrect device paths

Hello Emmanuel,

yesterday you reported on the u-boot ICS channel that you saw an 
incorrect device path for the SD card on your BananaPi M2 
(/venHw(e61d73b9-a384-4acc-aeab-82e828f3628b)/Usb(0x6,0x0)/HD(Part0,MBRType=01)).

In dp_fill() both mass storage (UCLASS_MASS_STORAGE) and USB hubs 
(UCLASS_USB_HUB) are mapped to USB devices. Maybe that is what happened 
to you.

On my Odroid C2 the following devices paths are created:

Installed device path protocols: 

/MemoryMapped(0x0,0x7ff9c604,0x7ff9c604) 

/VenHw(e61d73b9-a384-4acc-aeab-82e828f3628b)/MMC(Slot0)/HD(Part0,Sig6fe30000)

/VenHw(e61d73b9-a384-4acc-aeab-82e828f3628b)/MMC(Slot0)/HD(Part1,Sig6fe30000)

/VenHw(e61d73b9-a384-4acc-aeab-82e828f3628b)/MMC(Slot0)/HD(Part2,Sig6fe30000)

/VenHw(e61d73b9-a384-4acc-aeab-82e828f3628b)/MMC(Slot0)/HD(Part3,Sig6fe30000)

/VenHw(e61d73b9-a384-4acc-aeab-82e828f3628b)/MMC(Slot0)

/VenHw(e61d73b9-a384-4acc-aeab-82e828f3628b)/
/VenHw(dbca4c98-6cb0-694d-0872-819c650cbbb1)

/VenHw(dbca4c98-6cb0-694d-0872-819c650cbbb1)/
VenHw(dbca4c98-6cb0-694d-0872-819c650cbba2)

/VenHw(dbca4c98-6cb0-694d-0872-819c650cbbb1)/
VenHw(dbca4c98-6cb0-694d-0872-819c650cbba2)/VenHw(dbca4c9...

I have an SD card with four partitions.

The entry with partition number 0 should match to the whole disk. So 
obviously one device path is missing.

eMMC should be reported as eMMC(SlotNumber) where slot number is a 
number only, e.g. eMMC(1).

SD cards should be reported as SD(SlotNumber), e.g. SD(1).

Partions should be reported as
HD(Partition,Type,Signature,Start,Size) or
HD(Partition,Type,Signature) (display only)
e.g.
HD(1,GPT,15E39A00-1DD2-1000-8D7F-00A0C92408FC,0x22,0x271000)

So there seems to be still a lot to be fixed.

Best regards

Heinrich
