[PATCH 1/7] efibc: Report more information in the error messages

From: Matt Fleming
Date: Sat Jun 25 2016 - 03:20:51 EST


From: "Compostella, Jeremy" <jeremy.compostella@xxxxxxxxx>

Report the name of the EFI variable if the value size is too large or
if efibc_set_variable() fails to allocate the struct efivar_entry
object. If efibc_set_variable() fails because the value size is too
large, it also reports the value size in the error message.
