From 40356b62be00db3f8906ee6a1b63f35710b08547 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Bruce Richardson Date: Thu, 10 Mar 2022 12:38:38 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] doc: remove duplicated note about UEFI secure boot A note about secure boot not allowing UIO is present in both the system requirements section and the driver binding section. This fits better in the driver binding section, so the copy in system requirements can be removed. The document in general now also emphasises VFIO over UIO more than when this note was first added, reducing the need for this warning to be repeated.
