[Xen-devel] [PATCH v9 13/17] ARM: Xen: Document UEFI support on Xen ARM virtual platforms



From: Shannon Zhao <shannon.zhao@xxxxxxxxxx>

Add a "uefi" node under /hypervisor node in FDT, then Linux kernel could
scan this to get the UEFI information.

+The format and meaning of the "xen,uefi-*" parameters are similar to those in
