In systems based on [U]EFI-conformant firmware, runtime services provide a standardised way for the kernel to update firmware environment variables. This is used for example by efibootmgr to update which image should be loaded on next boot.
This patchset implements basic support for UEFI runtime services on ARM platforms, as well as the basic underlying EFI support. It also defines a mechanism by which the required information is passed from the bootloader (the EFI stub submitted separately) to the kernel via FDT entries.
This all looks pretty good to me. Is this series going through the ARM trees?
Thanks. That's the plan.

FWIW, I would like to see this merged this cycle. I think it is ready enough and can be fixed up in-place.
