[Xen-devel] [PATCH v11 13/17] ARM: Xen: Document UEFI support on Xen ARM virtual platforms

[Shannon Zhao <zhaoshenglong@xxxxxxxxxx>]

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
+Documentation/arm/uefi.txt, which are provided by the regular UEFI stub. 
However

set
