Yes, I will when I have time.

The reason why I didn't do so is that I haven't had any reviews
on the rest of the patches. In addition, patch#1 can be applied
on its own since v6.

Normally if I want to add a change log, I will create a cover letter
even there is only one patch file.

I don't really think it is necessary, but I will do so.

Well, it is also the case for [-f].

So I will add a separate help line for clarification:
  	"env set -e name [arg ...] - set UEFI variable\n"

Okay, but really "all?"

I'm really confused with the format of description.
There are several different styles of syntax seen across the tree.
See my comment below.

For example, the function description should be placed
between "@data" and "Return:"?

Some people writes "@return(:)". Some people have nothing about return value.

Okay.

Okay.

utf8_utf16_strcpy() doesn't exist now.
utf8_utf16_strncpy() does.
