For the series:
Reviewed-by: Tom Rini <trini at konsulko.com>
That said, in general and looking towards the future, I do think "needs

rather than U-Boot's standalone API support. Our standalone API is weird
and fragile (as this series shows you're well aware) but the EFI one is
well defined and we just implement it.
