This jumps to test code which can call directly into the EFI support. It does not need a separate image so it is easy to write tests with it.
This test can be executed without causing problems to the run-time environemnt (e.g. U-Boot does not need to reboot afterwards).
For now the test just outputs a message. To try it:
Please, explain what the use of the command shall be. We already have bootefi selftest. We shouldn't invent the wheel twice.
These are different wheels, With 'selftest' we build an EFI application and run it as a binary. With 'test' we just call into the U-Boot code. IMO the latter is much easier to debug and test since it is a single application - e.g. it can be run entirely within gdb.
