Merge tag 'efi-efivars-removal-for-v5.20' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/efi/efi
Pull efivars sysfs interface removal from Ard Biesheuvel:
"Remove the obsolete 'efivars' sysfs based interface to the EFI
variable store, now that all users have moved to the efivarfs pseudo
file system, which was created ~10 years ago to address some
fundamental shortcomings in the sysfs based driver.
Move the 'business logic' related to which EFI variables are important
and may affect the boot flow from the efivars support layer into the
efivarfs pseudo file system, so it is no longer exposed to other parts
of the kernel"
* tag 'efi-efivars-removal-for-v5.20' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/efi/efi:
efi: vars: Move efivar caching layer into efivarfs
efi: vars: Switch to new wrapper layer
efi: vars: Remove deprecated 'efivars' sysfs interface
