Subject: [PATCH 4.19 36/36] efi: Make it possible to disable efivar_ssdt entirely
Date: Tue,  7 Jul 2020 17:17:28 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200707145750.881600184@linuxfoundation.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20200707145749.130272978@linuxfoundation.org>

From: Peter Jones <pjones@redhat.com>

commit 435d1a471598752446a72ad1201b3c980526d869 upstream.

In most cases, such as CONFIG_ACPI_CUSTOM_DSDT and
CONFIG_ACPI_TABLE_UPGRADE, boot-time modifications to firmware tables
are tied to specific Kconfig options.  Currently this is not the case
for modifying the ACPI SSDT via the efivar_ssdt kernel command line
option and associated EFI variable.

This patch adds CONFIG_EFI_CUSTOM_SSDT_OVERLAYS, which defaults
disabled, in order to allow enabling or disabling that feature during
the build.
