Hi, I'd like to update my testing and share my thoughts. Regarding the patches: 1) The patches in email 1/2 (the functions "efi_warn", etc.) are not working properly. I got some suggestions for testing from Ard in a separate email. 3a. If, in this 2nd patch, I switch the "efi_warn_once" with an "efi_printk", the messages appear. 1a. I've set CONFIG_CONSOLE_LOGLEVEL_DEFAULT=5, same result 2a. I've switched from "efi_warn_once" to "efi_warn", same result. 2) Even if they would be working, since it is not logged anywhere, I don't really think these messages make sense. Idk if these can be made available to dmesg. 3) The function "efi_apply_loadoptions_quirk" is called twice, it seems to me that calling it from the "file.c" is redundant, but probably I'm missing something. Regarding the quirk itself, in my opinion we should wait for Mario's news, since, again in my opinion, this is something that should be fixed in the firmware itself. Being Dell a serious company, I think it is feasible that, at least for their enterprise products, they might fix it.
