Subject: [PATCH v2 12/16] ARM: Xen: Document UEFI support on Xen ARM virtual platforms

From: Shannon Zhao <shannon.zhao@...aro.org>

Add a "uefi" node under /hypervisor node in FDT, then Linux kernel could
scan this to get the UEFI information.

+These "xen,uefi-*" parameters are similar to those in Documentation/arm/uefi.txt
+which are used by normal UEFI. But to Xen ARM virtual platforms, it needs to
+introduce a Xen specific UEFI and it doesn't want to mix with normal UEFI.
+Therefore, it defines these parameters under /hypervisor node.
