Symptoms:
	PHCO_30720:
	( SR:8606349049 CR:JAGaf09868 )
	After copying a new file with efi_cp or creating a new
	directory with efi_mkdir, the new file or directory is
	listed in the output of efi_ls, but possibly may not be
	displayed when viewing it from the EFI shell.

	( SR:8606358604 CR:JAGaf19303 )
	The file shows a blank name when it is displayed by efi_ls.

Defect Description:
	PHCO_30720:
	( SR:8606349049 CR:JAGaf09868 )
	When efi_rm or efi_rmdir is used to remove a file or
	directory, sometimes the directory entry is removed but the
	long name entry is left behind as an orphan entry.  This
	can cause problems with subsequent newly created files /
	directories in the EFI shell implementation of the EFI file
	system.  The new file may not appear, or may be converted
	from long name format to a short name (8.3) entry.

	Resolution:
	New version of efi_rm and efi_rmdir now remove all long
	name entries as well as directory entries, avoiding the
	creation of orphan entries.  In addition, efi_cp /
	efi_mkdir now clean all directories in the EFI volume,
	removing any existing orphan entries to prevent future
	problems.

	( SR:8606358604 CR:JAGaf19303 )
	If a filename is such that internal checksum routine
	returns 0, the efi_ls can mistakenly assumes that there
	exists  a long name entry even when there isn't one.  Since
	there is no long name entry, it displays a blank name in
	this case.

	Resolution:
	New version of tool initializes the checksum variable to
	the value that cannot be returned by internal checksum
	routine before comparing them, so correct filename will be
	shown.

Enhancement:
	No
