efi: use 32-bit alignment for efi_guid_t
Current U-Boot implements 64-bit boundary for efi_guid_t structure. It follows the UEFI specification, page 21 of the UEFI Specification v2.10 says about EFI_GUID: 128-bit buffer containing a unique identifier value. Unless otherwise specified, aligned on a 64-bit boundary. On the other hand, page 163 of the UEFI specification v2.10 and EDK2 reference implementation both define EFI_GUID as struct { u32 a; u16; b; u16 c; u8 d[8]; }; and so the implied alignment is 32-bit not 64-bit like U-Boot efi_guid_t. Due to this alignment difference, EDK2 application "CapsuleApp.efi -P" does not work as expected. This calls EFI_FIRMWARE_MANAGEMENT_PROTOCOL.GetImageInfo() and dump the EFI_FIRMWARE_IMAGE_DESCRIPTOR structure, offsetof(EFI_FIRMWARE_IMAGE_DESCRIPTOR, ImageTypeId) is different, 8 in U-Boot and 4 in EDK2(CapsuleApp.efi). Here is the wrong EFI_GUID dump. wrong dump : ImageTypeId - 00000000-7D83-058B-D550-474CA19560D8 expected : ImageTypeId - 058B7D83-50D5-4C47-A195-60D86AD341C4 EFI_FIRMWARE_IMAGE_DESCRIPTOR structure is defined in UEFI specification: typedef struct { UINT8 ImageIndex; EFI_GUID ImageTypeId; UINT64 ImageId <snip> } EFI_FIRMWARE_IMAGE_DESCRIPTOR; There was the relevant patch for linux kernel to use 32-bit alignment for efi_guid_t [1]. U-Boot should get aligned to EDK2 reference implementation and linux kernel. Due to this alignment change, efi_hii_ref structure in include/efi_api.h is affected, but it is not used in the current U-Boot code.
