Subject: [PATCH 1/4] x86/boot/compressed: Remove unused variables in EFI helpers
Date: Sun, 21 Jun 2026 16:41:18 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260621144116.224010-7-thorsten.blum@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260621144116.224010-6-thorsten.blum@linux.dev>
efi_get_system_table() declares an unused efi_type variable, and
efi_get_conf_table() declares an unused ret variable - remove both.
get_kexec_setup_data() also takes an efi_type argument that is not used.
Drop the argument and update the only caller in efi_get_conf_table().
Also simplify the no EFI system table case in efi_get_system_table() by
falling through to the existing return since sys_tbl_pa is already zero.
