[U-Boot] [PATCH v2 00/14] efi: make efi and bootmgr more usable

[AKASHI Takahiro]

This patch set is a collection of patches to enhance efi user interfaces
/commands. It will help improve user experience on efi boot and make it
more usable *without* edk2's shell utility.

Let's see how it works:
=> efishell boot add 1 SHELL mmc 0:1 /Shell.efi ""
=> efishell boot add 2 HELLO mmc 0:1 /hello.efi ""
=> efishell boot dump
Boot0001:
	attributes: A-- (0x00000001)
	label: SHELL
	file_path: /VenHw(e61d73b9-a384-4acc-aeab-82e828f3628b)/SD(0)/SD(0)/HD(1,MBR,0x086246ba,0x800,0x40000)/\\Shell.efi
	data: 
Boot0002:
	attributes: A-- (0x00000001)
	label: HELLO
	file_path: /VenHw(e61d73b9-a384-4acc-aeab-82e828f3628b)/SD(0)/SD(0)/HD(1,MBR,0x086246ba,0x800,0x40000)/\\hello.efi
	data: 

=> efishell boot order 1 2
=> efishell boot order
 1: Boot0001: SHELL
 2: Boot0002: HELLO

=> run -e Boot0002 (or bootefi bootmgr - 2)	; '-' means no dtb specified
WARNING: booting without device tree
Booting: HELLO
## Starting EFI application at 000000007db8b040 ...
Hello, world!
## Application terminated, r = 0

=> env set -e PlatformLang en			; important!
   (or you can do "efishell setvar PlatformLang en")
=> env print -e

=> run -e Boot0001 or bootefi bootmgr

   (shell ...)

"setvar" command now supports efi shell-like syntax:

=> env set -e foo =S\"akashi\" =0x012345 =Habcdef  
=> env print -e foo                              
foo: {boot,run}(blob)

00000010:  01 00 ab cd ef           .....


Other useful sub commands are:
=> efishell devices				; print uefi devices
=> efishell drivers				; print uefi drivers
=> efishell images				; print loaded images
=> efishell dh					; print uefi handles
=> efishell memmap				; dump uefi memory map

# I admit there is some room to improve the output from those commands.

Enjoy!
-Takahiro Akashi

Changes in v2 (Nov 5, 2018)
* modify efi_dp_from_name() for use in efishell
* rename efi_marshal_load_option() to efi_serialize_load_option(),
  taking a "struct efi_load_option" as an argument
* improve a format in dumping uefi variables
* enhance a setvar syntax as efi's shell does
* change a syntax from "bootefi bootmgr -2" to "bootefi bootmgr - 2"
* add -e option to run command
* add -e option to env command
* add more sub-commands
