The GUID of partitions is sufficient for identification and will stay
constant in the lifetime of a boot option. The preceding path of the
device-path may change due to changes in the enumeration of devices.
Therefore it is preferable to use the short-form of device-paths in load
options.
With this series booting via short-form device-paths is reenable.
The 'efidebug boot add' command is adjusted to create either short-form
or long-form device paths.
The check for the EFI System Partition used for capsule updates is
corrected.
A unit test for the boot manager is added.
v2:
merge multiple patches to a series
fix ESP detection
Heinrich Schuchardt (9):
efi_loader: export efi_dp_shorten()
efi_loader: fix efi_dp_find_obj()
efi_loader: efi_dp_find_obj() add protocol check
efi_loader: support booting via short-form device-path
efi_loader: use short-form DP for load options
efi_loader: export efi_system_partition_guid
efi_loader: remove efi_disk_is_system_part()
efi_loader: move dtbdump.c, initrddump.c to lib/efi_loader
test: test UEFI boot manager
