[PATCH 1/2] efi: get rid of EFI_SYSTEM_TABLES status bit

Ard Biesheuvel ard.biesheuvel at linaro.org
Fri Feb 26 06:20:34 PST 2016


The EFI_SYSTEM_TABLES status bit is set by all EFI supporting architectures
upon discovery of the EFI system table, but the bit is never tested in any
code we have in the tree. So remove it.
