Subject: [PATCH 3/4] Documentation: RISC-V: Mention the UEFI Standards
Date: Wed, 12 Oct 2022 21:56:18 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20221013045619.18906-4-palmer@rivosinc.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20221013045619.18906-1-palmer@rivosinc.com>

From: Palmer Dabbelt <palmer@rivosinc.com>

The current patch acceptance policy requires that specifications are
approved by the RISC-V foundation, but we rely on external
specifications as well.  This explicitly calls out the UEFI
specifications that we're starting to depend on.
