Subject: [PATCH V6 8/8] Add config EFI_STUB for ARM to Kconfig
Date: Fri, 10 Jan 2014 08:30:17 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1389371417-379-9-git-send-email-roy.franz@linaro.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1389371417-379-1-git-send-email-roy.franz@linaro.org>

The previous patches have added the implementation of the EFI stub
functionality to the kernel, so now the Kconfig support is added
to enable it.
