[PATCH 3/9] efi: Remove redundant creation of the "efivars" platform device

[Sudeep Holla <sudeep.holla@arm.com>]

The "efivars" platform device is created but never tracked or used,
as there is no driver associated with it. Since this device serves
no functional purpose, removing its creation without affecting any
functionality.
