UEFI: GUID for EFI Conformance Profile Table #96

Closed xypron closed 2 years ago

xypron commented 2 years ago

Provide a GUID that can be used in the EFI Conformance Profile Table to indicate conformance with the EBBR 2.0 specification.

Should we have some wording in EBBR suggesting/mandating that FW create the conformance profiles table?

xypron commented 2 years ago

The UEFI 2.10 spec says: "The absence of this table shall indicate that the platform implementation is conformant with the UEFI specification requirements, as defined in Section 2.6." But this does not include the extra requirements of the EBBR.

If the software is fully compliant to the EBBR, it could add said GUID to the table. If it is not fully compliant it should not add the GUID I guess.

U-Boot adds the GUID if elements required by the EBBR but optional in U-Boot are enabled in the configuration
