[PATCH] efi: Resolve some shadow warnings

From: Jeff Kirsher <hidden>
Date: 2014-09-06 01:34:58
Also in: lkml
Subsystem: extensible firmware interface (efi), the rest · Maintainers: Ard Biesheuvel, Linus Torvalds

From: Mark Rustad <redacted>

It is a really bad idea to declare variables or parameters that
have the same name as common types. It is valid C, but it gets
surprising if a macro expansion attempts to declare an inner
local with that type. Change the local names to eliminate the
hazard.

Change s16 => ps16, s8 => ps8.
