Re: [U-Boot] [PATCH 1/1] efi_loader: create handles from normal memory

Handles are not used at runtime. They are freed by the firmware when the last protocol interface is uninstalled. So there is no reason to use EFI memory when creating handles.

I agree that efi object structs are supposed to be opaque and thus we can use any allocation mechanism we like.

What I also see is that efi_delete_handle() even calls free() on objects, so spawning them from efi memory rather than malloc memory is also just wrong.

In short, I think your patch is completely correct :).
