Hello Ard, hello Colin,

I have tested the patch with Linux 5.8.9.

Somehow Linux managed to break the kernel for my board between Linux
5.8.9 and 5.8.18. It does not boot form iSCSI with a newer kernel.

You probably want to run a user program against your latest kernel. This
is what I used:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <sys/ioctl.h>
#include <sys/stat.h>
#include <sys/types.h>

#define EFI_RUNTIME_GET_SUPPORTED_MASK \
         _IOR('p', 0x0C, unsigned int)

int main()
{
         unsigned int i, flag;
         int fd, ret;
         unsigned int mask;

         fd = open("/dev/efi_test", O_RDWR);
         if (fd == -1) {
                 perror("open");
                 return 1;
         }

         ret = ioctl(fd, EFI_RUNTIME_GET_SUPPORTED_MASK, &mask);
         if (ret == -1) {
                 perror("ioctl");
                 return 1;
         }
         printf("mask 0x%08x\n", mask);

         flag = 1;
         for (i = 0x80000000; i; i >>= 1) {
                 if (i & mask) {
                         printf("%4s 0x%08x\n", flag ? "=" : "|", i);
                         flag = 0;
                 }
         }

         close(fd);

         return 0;
}

Best regards

Heinrich
