After this patch we still have efi_dp_append_instance(). The only
difference to efi_dp_concat(,,true) seems only to be the type of end
node used as separator.

Hence the last argument of efi_dp_contat() should be be either of:

* 0
* DEVICE_PATH_SUB_TYPE_INSTANCE_END
* DEVICE_PATH_SUB_TYPE_END

This description is unclear. Do you mean DEVICE_PATH_SUB_TYPE_END or
DEVICE_PATH_SUB_TYPE_INSTANCE_END?

We would better make the parameter a three-state value:

* 0
* DEVICE_PATH_SUB_TYPE_INSTANCE_END
* DEVICE_PATH_SUB_TYPE_END

This assignment is not needed if (!dp1 || !dp2).

We assign end_size twice in this case. We should instead move the first
assignment to the if:

		if (!split_end_node)
			end_size = sizeof(END);
		else
			end_size = 2 * sizeof(END);
