commit 435d1a471598752446a72ad1201b3c980526d869 upstream.
In most cases, such as CONFIG_ACPI_CUSTOM_DSDT and CONFIG_ACPI_TABLE_UPGRADE, boot-time modifications to firmware tables are tied to specific Kconfig options. Currently this is not the case for modifying the ACPI SSDT via the efivar_ssdt kernel command line option and associated EFI variable.
This patch adds CONFIG_EFI_CUSTOM_SSDT_OVERLAYS, which defaults disabled, in order to allow enabling or disabling that feature during the build.
