Subject: [PATCH v1 35/54] efi: loader: protocol: add efi_device_path_to_text support
Date: Thu, 18 Dec 2025 11:37:55 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251218111242.1527495-36-a.fatoum@pengutronix.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251218111242.1527495-1-a.fatoum@pengutronix.de>
For use by EFI payloads that don't want to convert device paths into
strings themselves, the loader can provide a protocol with access to its
own routines. device_path_to_str(), which we already in the EFI payload
can fill that role, so add a protocol that calls into it.
