Since commit 0f5b2c69a4 ("efi: vars: Remove deprecated 'efivars' sysfs
interface") and the removal of the sysfs interface there are no users of
the efivars kobject.
Drop the kobject argument from efivars_register() and add a new
efivar_is_available() helper in favour of the old efivars_kobject().
Note that the new helper uses the prefix 'efivar' (i.e. without an 's')
for consistency with efivar_supports_writes() and the rest of the
interface (except the registration functions).
For the benefit of drivers with optional EFI support, also provide a
dummy implementation of efivar_is_available().

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.
