[PATCH v2 0/4] Apple device properties

Show all headers | View raw

Retrieve device properties from EFI on Macs before ExitBootServices is
called and assign them to devices (patch [3/4]). The devices that
properties pertain to are encoded as EFI Device Paths, so add a parser
for these (patch [2/4]). As a first use case, amend the Thunderbolt driver
to take advantage of the Device ROM supplied by EFI (patch [4/4]).

Patch [1/4] is already queued in Rafael J. Wysocki's tree for 4.9 and is
included here only because patch [2/4] wouldn't compile without it.

The series also depends on these two patches which are already queued
in Matt's tree for 4.9:

- x86/efi: Optimize away setup_gop32/64 if unused
  https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/9315763/

- x86/efi: Allow invocation of arbitrary boot services
  https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/9293371/


Changes since v1:

- Previously there were two separate patches for retrieving properties
  and assigning them to devices. These are now squashed together in
  patch [3/4]. (Requested by Matt Fleming.)

- The version of the EFI properties protocol as well as the properties
  payload is now checked.

- Applied a bit of polish all over.
