This series collects together various small fixes and improvements which
make it easier to use the U-Boot EFI app in a bootflow which includes
Shim:

- 'Reset' back to the caller (e.g. EDK2)
- Machine reset using cold and warm reset
- Reset and enter the firmware UI
- Shim command now supports persistent debug
- Bootmenu shows the real media for each bootflow rather than just 'efi'


Simon Glass (18):
  efi: Correct calculate_paths() when an image is used
  efi: doc: Mention some EFI commands in the app documentation
  efi: Allow inclusion of EFI-runtime headers
  efi: Set the log category throughout lib/efi_client/
  efi_loader: Drop unnecessary efi_dp_str()
  efi: Move loaded-image, fs and device-path GUIDs to common
  boot: Move obtaining the label into a common file
  boot: Use the new label finder in bootflow_menu_add()
  boot: Drop an unwanted blank line in distro_efi_boot()
  efidebug: doc: Indent the media output correctly
  efidebug: Support sorting with efidebug memmap
  efi: doc: Add documentation for about efidebug boot
  efi: Use the console mux by default with the EFI app
  shim: Add a flag to make the setting persistent
  sysreset: Support a hot reset
  efi: app: Support proper reset options
  sysreset: Add SYSRESET_TO_FIRMWARE_UI with reset -u support
  sysreset: Add -c flag for explicit cold reset
