Hi Josh, 
Tahashi has a good idea for use strtobool to allow
'secureboot_enable=yes' works. Please consider the following change.


Thanks a lot!

Subject: [PATCH] efi: more user-friendly secureboot_enable parameter

From: Takashi Iwai <redacted>

Use strtobool can allow 'secureboot_enable=yes', it's more user-friendly.

This seems like a good change to me.  If you don't mind, I'll rework the
existing patch to do this since it hasn't been accepted upstream yet and
give Takashi-san and you appropriate credit in the commit log.
