Hello Takahiro,

your patches 1-8 are now (with some modifications) in the efi-2019-07
branch. I have added some more patches.

https://github.com/xypron2/u-boot/commits/efi-2019-07

Travis CI testing was ok:
https://travis-ci.org/xypron2/u-boot/builds/522947698

I have tested on real hardware without error:
* TinkerBoard (32 bit) boot via GRUB
* Pine64 A64 LTS (64 bit) boot via iPXE and GRUB
* Odroid C2 (64 bit) boot via GRUB

If you are ok with the adjustments to your patch series I will create a
pull request.

Best regards

Heinrich
