From 0b02e448a2ebb46eb9be4f1bdfc87112bd420cbf Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dave Young Date: Wed, 6 Dec 2017 09:50:10 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] efi: Add comment to avoid future expanding of sysfs systab /sys/firmware/efi/systab shows several different values, it breaks sysfs one file one value design. But since there are already userspace tools depend on it eg. kexec-tools so add code comment to alert future expanding of this file.
