This series provides a number of minor improvements for the EFI app when
running on ARM machines (on top of Tianocore, for example):

- Tidy up various comments
- Show the ARM exception level in bdinfo
- Tidy up the output of 'meminfo'
- Get the addr_find command running
- Reduce verbosity when not debugging
- Show the model at the top of the diplay when using vidconsole
- Allow faking the boot right into the actual OS jump (for debugging)

Changes in v2:
- Make the messages longer and more explanatory
- Use the existing current_el() function
- Add a colon so it is clear that 'load_os type' is not a compound term

Simon Glass (22):
  arm: bootm: Add some debugging
  arm: Fix swtiching typo
  arm: Show the exception level with bdinfo
  arm: Drop kernel_entry for arm64
  meminfo: Allow for up to 10 hex digits
  event: Add a dummy function for event_notify()
  boot: Improve debugging in bootm_load_os()
  boot: Pass flags to the bootm_final event
  fdt: Add debugging for fdt_simplefb
  efi: app: Show only a summary of disks and partitions
  efi: Fix up the addr_find command
  efi: app: Tidy up some stale comments in setup_memory()
  efi: app: Allocate pages in any region
  efi: app: Pick up the SMBIOS table
  efi: app: Use EFI_PAGE_SHIFT instead of 12 in free_memory()
  efi: app: Print the final message before freeing memory
  efi: app: Use the relocated global_data
  efi: app: Only show the memory map when debugging
  efi: app: Add a simplefb node to the devicetree
  efi: arm: Increase the cyclic timeout again
  efi: app: Show the model when the vidconsole starts
  efi: app: Enable the cat command
