[ Upstream commit 36a237526cd81ff4b6829e6ebd60921c6f976e3b ]
CONFIG_EFI_EARLYCON defaults to yes, and thus is enabled on systems that
do not support EFI, or do not have EFI support enabled, but do satisfy
the symbol's other dependencies.
While drivers/firmware/efi/ won't be entered during the build phase if
CONFIG_EFI=n, and drivers/firmware/efi/earlycon.c itself thus won't be
built, enabling EFI_EARLYCON does force-enable CONFIG_FONT_SUPPORT and
CONFIG_ARCH_USE_MEMREMAP_PROT, and CONFIG_FONT_8x16, which is
undesirable.
Fix this by making CONFIG_EFI_EARLYCON depend on CONFIG_EFI.
This reduces kernel size on headless systems by more than 4 KiB.

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.
