Subject: efi-pstore: Make efi-pstore return a unique id
From: Madper Xie <cxie@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit fdeadb43fdf1e7d5698c027b555c389174548e5a upstream.
Pstore fs expects that backends provide a unique id which could avoid
pstore making entries as duplication or denominating entries the same
name. So I combine the timestamp, part and count into id.
