This script generates EFI variables for U-Boot variable store format.

An example of generating secure boot variables

  $ openssl x509 -in foo.crt -outform DER -out foo.der
  $ efisiglist -a -c foo.der -o foo.esl
  $ efivar.py -i ubootefi.var add -n db -d foo.esl -t file
  $ efivar.py -i ubootefi.var add -n kek -d foo.esl -t file
  $ efivar.py -i ubootefi.var add -n pk -d foo.esl -t file
