[PATCH v2 15/16] bootstd: Add a command to read all files for a bootflow

Simon Glass sjg at chromium.org
Fri Aug 11 03:33:18 CEST 2023


Some bootflows (such as EFI and ChromiumOS) delay reading the kernel until
it is needed to boot. This saves time when scanning and avoids needing to
allocate memory for something that may never be used.

To permit reading of these files, add a new 'bootflow read' command.

Signed-off-by: Simon Glass <sjg at chromium.org>

Changes in v2:
- Make the bootmeth operation optional to remove code-size impact
