We have no such requirement in the EFI subsystem.

Agree that adding a efi_info() here makes sense, not only for
potential failures, but also simply to have some confirmation that the
quirk is taking effect.

Note that I am not 100% convinced yet that we need this change to
begin with. How large is the intersection of the set of affected
systems and the set of systems that are likely to run future kernels
that carry this quirk?
