This function can be used to convert EFI status value to string
for printing out debug message. Using this function can improve
the readability of log.

v2.
- Changed the wording in subject and description.
- Moved the marco immediately after the status value definitions.
- Turned into a proper function instead of inline.

Please move the changelog out of the commit log (move it below the ---
further down)

You missed my point here. A proper function means the function in a .c
file, and only the declaration in a .h file. This way, you are still
duplicating the literal strings into every object file that references
this function.

Sorry for I missunderstood. I will move the function to load_uefi.c.

Thanks a lot!

No, please move it to a file that is shared between all EFI code.

I see! I will move the function to the position that it is just behind
efi_status_to_str() in drivers/firmware/efi/efi.c. Please let me know
if the position is not suitable.

Thanks a lot!
