[PATCH 071/108] x86: acpi: Support external GNVS tables

Simon Glass sjg at chromium.org
Mon Jan 27 06:06:18 CET 2020


At present U-Boot puts a magic number in the ASL for the GNVS table and
searches for later.

Add a Kconfig option to use a different approach, where the ASL files
declare the table as an external symbol. U-Boot can then put it wherever
it likes, without any magic numbers or searching.
