Hi,
Any reason to not Cc LAKML?

I'm not sure I understand. On arm/arm64, "mixed-mode" simply isn't possible.
I see we already call runtime services directly in efi_get_secureboot()
in drivers/firmware/efi/libstub/arm-stub.c.
If this is just to provide a consistent API for the stub, please note
that.

Given this can only work in the stub, the name is somewhat unfortunate,
as it sounds like it's expected to be used at runtime (i.e. in the
kernel). But I guess that's not a big problem.
Other than the casting issue you noted, I think this should work,
though.
Thanks,
Mark.
