[PATCH] efi: select CRYPTO for EFI_EMBEDDED_FIRMWARE

[Vegard Nossum]

Fix the following build warning:

  WARNING: unmet direct dependencies detected for CRYPTO_LIB_SHA256
    Depends on [n]: CRYPTO [=n]
    Selected by [y]:
    - EFI_EMBEDDED_FIRMWARE [=y] && EFI [=y]

Hello Vegard,

I don't think this is the right fix, to be honest. The crypto library
functions have no dependencies at all on the crypto API, so I think it
would be better to do something like the below:

diff --git a/crypto/Kconfig b/crypto/Kconfig
index 536df4b6b825..b79de4820ce9 100644
--- a/crypto/Kconfig
+++ b/crypto/Kconfig

 endif  # if CRYPTO

Actually some of the crypto library functions need __crypto_xor() and
__crypto_memneq() which are only compiled when CRYPTO.  So that will need to be
fixed by moving those functions to an appropriate place first.
