Our store will be completely unrelated to U-Boot environment variables.
So why should we put anything into this Kconfig?

The following information is not specific to this variable. So we can
cut it short:

"String defining the device number and the partition number in the
format <device number>:<partition number>, e.g. 0:1."


Where do you specify on which subsystem (mmc, scsi, sata, nvme) the file
is stored?

I would prefer nopt to have a restriction to FAT. If the EXT4 driver is
enabled writing and reading to an ext4 valume should work as well. When
calling fs_set_blk_dev() you will not specify any file system.

%s/UEFI non-volatile variables/non-volatile UEFI variables/

No need for the file system being FAT.

It is obvious that afile name is a string. But why restrict to a file
name? This could also be a path to a non-root file:

"Path of the file used to store non-volatile UEFI variables."

But can't we simply have a single variable, where we put all parts of
the definition, e.g.

mmc 0:1 /EFI/nv-var.store

If we are writing to a file, the available space on the partition and in
RAM is the limit. I see no need for this variable in this case.

We are not creating a driver for U-Boot environment variables. So I
would keep away from the code in this directory. You can put the load
and save function into lib/efi_loader/ and use the normal file-system
functions there to read and write the file.

Essentially I expect we will end up with a class of drivers which we can
use as backends for nv variables, e.g.

* file storage
* OP-TEE module
* U-Boot variables
* none
