Subject: [PATCH v5 2/4] x86/boot/compressed: Clean up EFI RSDP lookup in efi_get_rsdp_addr()
Date: Tue, 10 Nov 2026 12:56:09 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261110115606.133611-8-blum@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261110115606.133611-6-blum@kernel.org>
Mark __efi_get_rsdp_addr() as __maybe_unused and remove the unused ret
variable. In efi_get_rsdp_addr(), remove the unused nr_tables variable
and use the function return values directly in the conditions.
Since efi_get_conf_table() already calls efi_get_system_table(), drop
the redundant efi_get_system_table() call and keep a single error path.
Make efi_get_system_table() static now that it has no callers outside of
efi.c, and remove its declaration and stub from misc.h.
