From 3170db63c41a2eda6ee6573353bb4de8c7c1b9d5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Heinrich Schuchardt Date: Sun, 23 Sep 2018 14:33:47 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] efi_loader: remove efi_exit_caches() Since GRUB patch d0c070179d4d ("arm/efi: Switch to arm64 linux loader", 2018-07-09) we do not need a workaround for GRUB on 32bit ARM anymore. So let's eliminate function efi_exit_caches(). This will require Linux distributions to update grub-efi-arm to the GRUB git HEAD (a tag containing the aforementioned GRUB patch is not available yet).
