Chrome OS does not need CONFIG_EFI, remove it |
||
Issue descriptionChromebooks do not need CONFIG_EFI defined in their kernel config, as they do not use EFI. Remove that from the x86_64, i386, arm64 and mediatek kernel configs to save on compilation time and disk space.

On second thought I'm not sure this change is a good idea. According to: https://www.chromium.org/chromium-os/chromiumos-design-docs/disk-format we go out of our way to make sure that we can boot on an EFI system, and though this doesn't happen on chromebooks this may happen in other situations (virtualized Chrome OS instances, early proto hardware, etc.) Abandoning for now. |
