Re: [U-Boot] [PATCH 1/3] disk: part_efi: parse and store partition UUID

      Dear Stephen Warren,

Each EFI partition table entry contains a UUID. Extend U-Boot's struct
disk_partition to be able to store this information, and modify
get_partition_info_efi() to fill it in.
The implementation of uuid_string() was stolen from the Linux kernel.

Can we please make this addition dependent on EFI support being
enabled?  Otherwise the increased memory footprint will hit all users,
even if they never use EFI at all.
Best regards,
Wolfgang Denk
