In this patch, helper functions for an load option variable (BootXXXX) are added:
- efi_parse_load_option(): parse a string into load_option data (renamed from parse_load_option and exported)
- efi_marshel_load_option(): convert load_option data into a string
Those functions will be used to implement efishell command.

If this is part of the spec, shouldn't it rather be in efi_api.h?
While uefi spec mentions this structure, I don't have good confidence that I can say that it is part of spec or API because there is no interface (or function) that handles this structure.
It probably also wants an efi_ prefix then :).

... this function which really should be called "serialize" rather than "marshal". "Marshalling" is what you do to convert from one API to another. Here, we want to write an in-memory object to disk.
Well, as you know, I borrow this word from RPC world. While I believe that those two are interchangeable in most contexts, I don't care either way if you prefer 'serialize'.
I also think the API would make more sense if you pass in a struct efi_load_option *. It's more symmetric to the deserialize one then.
Absolutely agree.
You also want to add comments to the functions to say what they do and what their parameters are there for. That will make it easier for people to grasp on how to use this (now public) API.
OK
And I really dislike void * for anything that isn't "opaque". In this function (and the one above) void * really gets used as byte pointer. Please mark it as such (u8 *).
Right, but there are quite a few of places where "void *" is used instead of "u8 *" for a string. For instance, get_var() in bootmgr.c or more in other files.
It's quite painful to change all the places for consistency.
The next problem are the casts. If you cast from u8 * to u32 * and dereference it, the compiler does not know if that pointer is aligned or not. So on platforms that don't enable caches yet in the bootmgr path, we may get unaligned exceptions. So you want to use get_unaligned_le32() and friends or memcpy (as you did in your function) above.
Good point. I will fix them. (This reveals other bugs :)
