[PATCH] configs: qcom_defconfig: Enable EFI variable runtime storage

Message-ID <[email protected]>
Allow SetVariable at runtime on U-Boot's in-RAM EFI variable
store so the OS can write EFI variables via efivarfs. With this
enabled U-Boot also advertises EFI_RT_SUPPORTED_SET_VARIABLE and
exposes the RTStorageVolatile and VarToFile variables, which
userspace tools such as efivar use to persist runtime changes
back to the ubootefi.var store on the ESP across reboots.

EFI_RT_VOLATILE_STORE depends on EFI_VARIABLE_FILE_STORE; select
it explicitly so the option is not silently dropped if that
default changes.
