[PATCH v4 01/34] efi: Add a script to build an image for testing on UEFI

Thu Nov 4 04:09:03 CET 2021
It is quite complicated to run U-Boot on QEMU since we have four
different builds and they must use different versions of qemu and the
UEFI binaries.
Add a script to help. It requires U-Boot itself to be built. Once that
is done you can use this script to build an image for use with qemu and
optionally run it.

Changes in v4:
- Change the patch subject to make it clear this does not build U-Boot
- Update commit message to mention that you have to build U-Boot
Changes in v3:
- Fix 'complicating' typo
- s/qemu/QEMU/
Changes in v2:
- Add MAINTAINERS entry
- Add support for creating a partition table with a filesystem inside
- Add support for running qemu with just a serial console (no display)
