Currently, a whole disk without any partitions is not associated with EFI_SIMPLE_FILE_SYSTEM_PROTOCOL. So even if it houses some file system, there is a chance that we may not be able to access it, particularly, when accesses are to be attempted after searching that protocol against a device handle.
With this patch, EFI_SIMPLE_FILE_SYSTEM_PROTOCOL is installed to such a disk if part_get_info() shows there is no partition table installed on it.
