[PATCH] efi: EFI Device Tree Fixup Protocol

[PATCH] efi: EFI Device Tree Fixup Protocol

Device-trees are used to convey information about hardware to the operating
system. Some of the properties are only known at boot time. (One example of
such a property is the number of the boot hart on RISC-V systems.) Therefore
the firmware applies fix-ups to the original device-tree. Some nodes and
properties are added or altered.

When using GRUB's device-tree command the same fix-ups have to be applied.
The EFI Device Tree Fixup Protocol allows to pass the loaded device tree
to the firmware for this purpose.

The protocol can

* add nodes and update properties
* reserve memory according to the /reserved-memory node and the memory
  reservation block
* install the device-tree as configuration table

With the patch GRUB checks if the protocol is installed and invokes it if
available. (LP: #1965796)
