Merge tag 'efi-efivars-removal-for-v5.20' of git://git.kernel.org/pub…

…/scm/linux/kernel/git/efi/efi Pull efivars sysfs interface removal from Ard Biesheuvel: "Remove the obsolete 'efivars' sysfs based interface to the EFI variable store, now that all users have moved to the efivarfs pseudo file system, which was created ~10 years ago to address some fundamental shortcomings in the sysfs based driver. Move the 'business logic' related to which EFI variables are important and may affect the boot flow from the efivars support layer into the efivarfs pseudo file system, so it is no longer exposed to other parts of the kernel" * tag 'efi-efivars-removal-for-v5.20' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/efi/efi: efi: vars: Move efivar caching layer into efivarfs efi: vars: Switch to new wrapper layer efi: vars: Remove deprecated 'efivars' sysfs interface
