HII database protocol is the last missing (major?) piece of code so that we can run unmodified EDKII's shell and UEFI SCT on EFI-enabled u-boot.
The original code was initially written by Leif and Rob a year ago[1], and now I'm reworking it. The implementation has not been much enhanced from the original, but I tried to give it clearer implementation to be able to add more functionality easily later on. I also addressed the comments by Alex[2] and added a self test on request of Heinrich.
HII configuration routing protocol and access protocol have only a skeleton and should be implemented when we need to have *drivers* that require configuration mechanism.
# Please note that a bunch of warnings are generated by checkpatch.pl, # but there are also good reasons for not fixing them.
Concerns (if any): * missing features (see the commit log of patch#2) * unaligned access to *packed* structure in a package list should be cared?
Changes in v2 (Nov 16, 2018) * add some descriptions to newly added functions * rename EFI_HII_PACKAGE_[TYPE|LEN]_* to __EFI_HII_PACKAGE_[TYPE|LEN]_* as they are of internal use only * cast a return value (of efi_status_t) to "unsigned int" for printing
