[PATCH] efi_loader: disk: allow blk devices even without UCLASS_PARTITION

While GPT partition is mandated in UEFI specification, CONFIG_PARTITION is seen optional under the current implementation. So modify efi_disk_rw_blocks() to allow accepting UCLASS_BLK devices.

Thanks for the patch. It solves the problem with the block IO protocol.
Why should dev_read() and dev_write only work for UCLASS_PARTITION? Can't we make it work for any block device? I think the treatment of different types of block devices should be moved to disk/disk-uclass.c.
I will pull this patch as a fast fix. But this should not be the final design.

I don't remember well, but I have expected that even a whole disk be represented as a partition (0).
Can't we make it work for any block device? I think the treatment of different types of block devices should be moved to disk/disk-uclass.c.
@Simon, what are your thoughts?
