Subject: efi: Make it possible to disable efivar_ssdt entirely
Patch-mainline: v5.8-rc3
Git-commit: 435d1a471598752446a72ad1201b3c980526d869
References: jsc#SLE-16407
In most cases, such as CONFIG_ACPI_CUSTOM_DSDT and
CONFIG_ACPI_TABLE_UPGRADE, boot-time modifications to firmware tables
are tied to specific Kconfig options. Currently this is not the case
for modifying the ACPI SSDT via the efivar_ssdt kernel command line
option and associated EFI variable.
This patch adds CONFIG_EFI_CUSTOM_SSDT_OVERLAYS, which defaults
disabled, in order to allow enabling or disabling that feature during
the build.
