Pull EFI fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
"A set of EFI fixes:
- Don't return a garbage screen info when EFI framebuffer is not
available
- Make the early EFI console work properly with wider fonts instead
of drawing garbage
- Prevent a memory buffer leak in allocate_e820()
- Print the firmware error record properly so it can be decoded by
users
- Fix a symbol clash in the host tool build which only happens with
newer compilers.
- Add a missing check for the event log version of TPM which caused
boot failures on several Dell systems due to an attempt to decode
SHA-1 format with the crypto agile algorithm"

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
