Up to now UEFI variables where stored in U-Boot environment variables. Saving UEFI variables was not possible without saving the U-Boot environment variables.
With this patch series file ubootefi.var in the EFI system partition is used for saving UEFI variables.
Furthermore the UEFI variables are exposed for reading at runtime.
v3: Use efi_var_mem_ins() when restoring variables from file. Remove EFI_VARIABLE_READ_ONLY attribute in runtime GetVariable(). Avoid setting efi_runtime_services.set_variable twice. v2: Rebase the series to consider OP-TEE based variables and authenticated variables. Do not enable SetVariable() at runtime as we cannot persist non-volatile variables at runtime. Display read-only attribute in printenv -e.
