I know, but the code won't be exercised anyway if !CONFIG_EFI_PARTITION.

What matters here is that "uuid" in struct disk_partition is defined
only if CONFIG_PARTITION_UUIDS.

As I said in my previous comment at patch#6,
CONFIG_EFI_PARTITION can be seen optional under the current implementation.

Unfortunately some platforms enable (in other words, "select") PARTITION_UUIDS
unconditionally even without explicitly enabling EFI_LOADER or EFI_PARTITION.
