Ard Biesheuvel 1758817e7e efi: Use standard format for printing the EFI revision
The UEFI spec section 4.2.1 describes the way the human readable EFI
revision should be constructed from the 32-bit revision field in the
system table:

  The upper 16 bits of this field contain the major revision value,
  and the lower 16 bits contain the minor revision value. The minor
  revision values are binary coded decimals and are limited to the
  range of 00..99.

  When printed or displayed UEFI spec revision is referred as (Major
  revision).(Minor revision upper decimal).(Minor revision lower
  decimal) or (Major revision).(Minor revision upper decimal) in case
  Minor revision lower decimal is set to 0.

Let's adhere to this when logging the EFI revision to the kernel log.

Note that the bit about binary coded decimals is bogus, and the minor
revision lower decimal is simply the minor revision modulo 10, given the
symbolic definitions provided by the spec itself:

  #define EFI_2_40_SYSTEM_TABLE_REVISION ((2<<16) | (40))
  #define EFI_2_31_SYSTEM_TABLE_REVISION ((2<<16) | (31))
  #define EFI_2_30_SYSTEM_TABLE_REVISION ((2<<16) | (30))

README

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.
