For actually enabling [U]EFI support, enable:
- CONFIG_EFI=y
-- CONFIG_EFI_VARS=y or m
+- CONFIG_EFIVAR_FS=y or m
The implementation depends on receiving information about the UEFI environment
in a Flattened Device Tree (FDT) - so is only available with CONFIG_OF.

If you say Y here, you are able to get EFI (Extensible Firmware
Interface) variable information via sysfs. You may read,
write, create, and destroy EFI variables through this interface.

- Note that using this driver in concert with efibootmgr requires
- at least test release version 0.5.0-test3 or later, which is
- available from:
- <http://linux.dell.com/efibootmgr/testing/efibootmgr-0.5.0-test3.tar.gz>

- Subsequent efibootmgr releases may be found at:
