Crap. Thanks for catching that Paul. I'm wondering how this slipped
through because that commit has an explicit Tested-by from Leif.
Hell, even I built an arm64 EFI kernel before sending that commit.
Ohh.. I see why no one caught this. From arch/arm64/Makefile,
libs-$(CONFIG_EFI_STUB) += drivers/firmware/efi/libstub/
so libstub will be built for arm64 regardless of the broken logic in
drivers/firmware/efi/Makefile.
Paul, how did you notice the typo? Did you hit an explicit build
failure? It's definitely wrong and I'm trying to figure out whether I
need to add some more testing to my build infrastructure to catch this
kind of problem in the future.
The next question is: should we fix this up at this point in the merge
cycle? It's basically just dead code.
