Adding a few folks who can be interested in this patch set...

The bli module has a hidden/implicit dependency on the part_gpt module.
The part_gpt module has to be loaded before the bli module.
This dependency is not picked up automatically by the build system
because the bli module does not use any function of part_gpt. It just
expects Grub to be able to parse GPT formatted disks.
Please be more consistent and use GRUB instead of Grub or other forms
everywhere.
Additionally, we are missing extra_deps.lst exception entry in .gitignore.
Could you add it?
This series introduces a mechanism that allows specifying module
dependencies explicitly in a new file called extra_deps.lst.
An explicit dependency is then added for the bli module on the part_gpt
module and the documentation is improved.
Changes since v1 [1]:
- rename explicit_dependencies.lst -> extra_deps.lst
- explain what bli does/why it needs part_gpt in the commit message
- and in the module documentation as well.

Oliver Steffen (3):
Allow explicit module dependencies
bli: Add explicit dependency on the part_gpt module
bli: Improve documentation
Otherwise patch set LGTM...
A few days ago Vladimir pushed fixes for GUID types. I hope together
with this patch set all known x86_64, aarch64 and IA-64 EFI issues are
fixed. So, folks, in particular Tobias, please test the latest GRUB
upstream master branch with these patches on top. Even if they require
some minor polishing. When everything is OK we can assume at least this
release roadblock has been lifted...
Tobias and other folks, ping? I would really love to hear something from
you soon...
Ping? If I do not hear anything from you guys soon I will assume
everything works as expected, merge these patches and cut the release
by the end of next week or so... We are long behind the schedule...

Hi,
sorry my use case changed, so I don't use bli as module in the included
array anymore.
Best regards
