[PATCH 2/2] efi_loader: use short-form DP for load options

Heinrich Schuchardt xypron.glpk at gmx.de
Sat Feb 26 12:56:51 CET 2022


The GUID of partitions is sufficient for identification and will stay
constant in the lifetime of a boot option. The preceding path of the
device-path may change due to changes in the enumeration of devices.
Therefore it is preferable to use the short-form of device-paths in load
options. Adjust the 'efidebug boot add' command accordingly.
