efi: efi-stub: notify on DTB absence
In the absence of a DTB configuration table, the EFI stub will happily
continue attempting to boot a kernel, despite the fact that this kernel
may not function without a description of the hardware. In this case, as
with a typo'd "dtb=" option (e.g. "dbt=") or many other possible
failures, the only output seen by the user will be the rather terse
output from the EFI stub:
EFI stub: Booting Linux Kernel...
To aid those attempting to debug such failures, this patch adds a notice
when no DTB is found, making the output more helpful:
EFI stub: Booting Linux Kernel...
EFI stub: Generating empty DTB
Additionally, a positive acknowledgement is added when a user-specified
DTB is in use:
EFI stub: Booting Linux Kernel...
EFI stub: Using DTB from command line
Similarly, a positive acknowledgement is added when a DTB from a
configuration table is in use:
EFI stub: Booting Linux Kernel...
EFI stub: Using DTB from configuration table
