The bli module has a "hidden" dependency on the part_gpt module, which
is not picked up automatically by the build system. One purpose of the
bli module is to communicate the GPT UUID of the partition GRUB was
launched from to Linux user-space (systemd-gpt-auto-generator).
Without the part_gpt modu
The build system deduces inter-module dependencies from the symbols
required and exported by the modules. This works well, except for some
rare cases where the dependency is indirect or hidden. A module might
not make use of any function of some other module, but still expect its
functionality to b
The bli module has a hidden/implicit dependency on the part_gpt module.
The part_gpt module has to be loaded before the bli module.
This dependency is not picked up automatically by the build system
because the bli module does not use any function of part_gpt. It just
expects GRUB to be able to par
Improve the documentation of the bli module, explain in more detail what
it does. Make clear that GPT formatted drives are expected and other
partition formats are ignored.
Also reorder and reword this section a bit.
