Fair enough. The reasopn we had two discrete header files was because we
followed the EDK2 example. Your recoomendation makes sense though, we'll move
everything to a single header file with sufficient commenting and add these
values as well.

I think it already does, but I'll double check and make sure

Ths was copied from edk2, I haven't really looked into further details on why
they had that check. I'll have a look

Yes is it.

As we discussed on IRC, i *think* having runtime variables is doable.
The OP-TEE supplicant uses ioctls to communicate with the kernel and access the
RPMB once linux is up and running. So the kernel will take care of any
concurrent accesses.
The only problem I can think of now, is what happens to the variable *writes*
until the supplicant is up. Your patches shadowing variables into a different
memory location might be one solution to that problem.
We might not even need those, because of the internal of StMM. EDK2 expects byte
addressable memory for the variable access. Since the RPMB cant be memory
mapped, my EDK2 driver creates a memory copy of the variables and syncs the
variables on read/write with the hardware. As long as the linux EFI stub only
reads variables we might be fine using the code as -is.

In any case I agree, let's merge this as is, since accessing runtime variables
will return EFI_UNSUPPORTED and won't crash the system and I'll look into
runtime variables details afterwards.

Thanks! I'll fix up the comments and send a v2.
