Commit f7d924894265 ("arm64/efi: refactor EFI init and runtime code
for reuse by 32-bit ARM") adds an include of asm/efi.h to efi.c.
This causes a build failure for ia64, where asm/efi.h does not exist.

drivers/firmware/efi/efi.c:28:21: fatal error:
         asm/efi.h: No such file or directory

asm/efi.h does not define or declare anything used by efi.c, thus
including it should not be needed.

This fixes ia64 but breaks ARM

drivers/firmware/efi/efi.c:291:3: error: implicit declaration of
function ‘early_memremap’ [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]

This means efi.c should include <asm/early_ioremap.h> but that does
not exist on ia64 either.
Perhaps add a #ifdef CONFIG_IA64?

#include <asm/io.h>

I'll check if that works for all architectures.


... and it doesn't.

Ok, I give up on that one. I don't know what a proper fix would be.
My argument would be that the arm changes broke the build for ia64,
are therefore the culprit and should either be reverted or dropped.
But I'll leave that to the ia64 and efi maintainers to sort out.

Thanks,
Guenter
