Subject: [PATCH v2 5/5] doc: uefi: EBBR conformance profiles
Date: Mon, 21 Sep 2026 15:12:21 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260921-conform-v2-5-daeb00359af9@arm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260921-conform-v2-0-daeb00359af9@arm.com>

U-Boot can support multiple EBBR conformance profiles, and it can advertise
them in the ECPT; therefore, remove the EBBR fixed version 2.1 mention from
the documentation and add a word about the ECPT profiles.

While at it, fix one typo.
