From e498dac43e6270f156f1cc90cb9f40b359477853 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ilias Apalodimas Date: Sun, 17 May 2020 22:25:47 +0300 Subject: doc: uefi.rst: Add OP-TEE variable storage config options If OP-TEE is compiled with an EDK2 application running in secure world it can process and store UEFI variables in an RPMB. Add documentation for the config options enabling this.
