Subject: [PATCH 1/7] efibc: Report more information in the error messages
From: "Compostella, Jeremy" <jeremy.compostella@...el.com>
Report the name of the EFI variable if the value size is too large or
if efibc_set_variable() fails to allocate the struct efivar_entry
object. If efibc_set_variable() fails because the value size is too
large, it also reports the value size in the error message.
