[U-Boot] [PATCH 0/2] efi_loader: implement deprecated Unicode collation protocol
In EFI 1.10 a version of the Unicode collation protocol using ISO 639-2 language codes existed. This protocol is not part of the UEFI specification any longer. Unfortunately it is required to run the UEFI Self Certification Test (SCT) II, version 2.6, 2017. So we implement it here for the sole purpose of running the SCT. It can be removed once a compliant SCT is available.
The configuration option defaults to no.

Rename variables to make it clear they refer to the Unicode collation protocol identified by the EFI_UNICODE_PROTOCOL2_GUID.

Most of Rob's original patch is already merged. Only the deprecated protocol is missing. Rebase it and make it configurable.

I remember that Alex always rejected this kind of patch, saying that an upstream (SCT in this case) should be fixed in the first place.
Do you want to change this policy? (I'm just asking.)

I am using SCT a lot to test my patches. I want to be able to run the tests on the final code.
I have raised a ticket for upstream SCT but did not see any reaction up to now.
Making this deprecated protocol a config option deselected by default is the most plausible solution to me. In the Kconfig comment I made it clear that this protocol is going to be removed when the SCT has been corrected.

It is likely that your patch will be reverted soon in 2019.09. (I don't know release cycle of UEFI SCT though.) I believe that such a patch should be maintained only in your local repository.

Wouldn't it be better to patch/fork the upstream SCT that blindly pulling in obsolete code that is basically already dead?

I disagree, I think if it's obsolete not having the code in the first case in the most plausible option IMO.

Since it's hidden behind a default-n config option, I'd not be terribly opposed to it. I do agree that fixing SCT is the better path forward.
Leif, how long do you think fixing this properly in SCT is going to take?

Well, as usual, patches welcome :)
However, I think the problem is more that the separate SCT area of bugzilla is a fairly recent addition and they forgot to change the default assignee to someone who actually works on SCT...
I have now added the SCT maintainers to cc on https://bugzilla.tianocore.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1802
