The problem I reported was that it is impossible to test UEFI runtime
services on U-Boot because FWTS tries to read the non-existent
RuntimeServicesSupported UEFI variable and mistakenly assumes that if
the variable does not exist none of the runtime services is implemented.

The correct thing to do in FWTS is:

* read RuntimeServicesSupported via the ioctl
* if the ioctl fails assume that all runtime services
   are implemented
* if the ioctl fails with errno != ENOTTY write an error message
* for each runtime service marked as not supported
   check that it returns EFI_UNSUPPORTED
* for each service marked as supported
   check that it works correctly

Best regards
