Subject: [PATCH] efistub: add efi=quiet parameter to selectively silence efistub alone
Date: Fri, 17 Jan 2025 03:44:52 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250117024452.2691546-1-linux@t4c.dev> (raw)

While the general `quiet` kernel parameter is available to silence
output from the efistub, setting this comes with side-effects.
This patch adds a parameter efi=quiet to selectively set the loglevel
for the stub alone to quiet, as the polar oppoosite to efi=debug.
