[FFE] DFSG-free FAT driver

[dann frazier]

Microsoft have recently removed the license restriction for the FAT driver in edk2 that has kept it restricted to multiverse.

What is the particular FF request here? If this means packaging a new upstream release with a changed license and moving the package to universe, that sounds fine as long as there are no other changes.

If you are going to upload other changes, please list them. That said, edk2 is a leaf package without reverse dependencies, so the risk is quite low.

Correct - it is to package a new upstream release with a changed license and moving the package to universe.

I've prep'd some packaging, which Steve is currently reviewing - the complete changelog at the moment is:

The one "new" thing here is to enable the SECURE_BOOT_ENABLE flag for aarch64 - I've tested that on aarch64 (in non-secureboot mode) to verify there are no regressions. But, I'm also happy to omit that change in the Ubuntu merge

[Martin Pitt (pitti)]

SECURE_BOOT_ENABLE flag seems ok -- if that's not our standard mode (I doubt it is), it doesn't break images and at worst we can deliver fixes in SRUs. So please go ahead.

This bug was fixed in the package edk2 - 0~20160408.ffea0a2c-2

---------------
edk2 (0~20160408.ffea0a2c-2) unstable; urgency=medium

  * Provide split AAVMF_{CODE,VARS}.fd for arm64 in the qemu-efi package,
    for VM-friendly nvram persistence in the same style as Fedora et al.
    and by analogy with the OVMF_{CODE,VARS}.fd on x86. Thanks to
    William Grant <email address hidden> for the patch.
