[U-Boot] [PATCH v2 1/1] efi_loader: fix setting PlatformLang

Heinrich Schuchardt xypron.glpk at gmx.de
Fri Apr 12 10:44:01 UTC 2019


The UEFI variables PlatformLang and PlatformLangCodes specify the current
firmware language and the list of all available languages.

Currently their values are hard coded. With the patch a new configuration
variable EFI_PLATFORM_LANG_CODES is provided.

When initializing the UEFI subsystem this configuration variable is used to
initialize PlatformLangCodes. The value of variable PlatformLang is read.
If it is not set, the first language specified in EFI_PLATFORM_LANG_CODES
is used to initialize PlatformLang.

v2
	We need to initialize the variables only once. So we have to move
	the call to efi_init_platform_lang() after the check if the UEFI
	subsystem is already initalized. Thanks Takahiro for catching this.
