The EFI platform firmware fallback would clobber any pre-allocated buffers. Instead, correctly refuse to reallocate when too small (as already done in the sysfs fallback), or perform allocation normally when needed. Fixes: e4c2c0ff00ec ("firmware: Add new platform fallback mechanism and firm ware_request_platform()")"firmware_request_platform()" :)Weird... I'm not sure where that mangling happened. Perhaps a bad cut/paste at 80 columns? Hmpf; thanks for catching. I've updated it on my end (I assume you fixed this manually, though?)
Yes, I fixed it up already, no worries. greg k-h
