Hi Jon,
I tried building drivers/firmware/efi/vars.c using tegra_defconfig. Had to enable CONFIG_EFI. So the null pointer access is a 0x00000008 so I looked at the disassembly below:
int efivar_entry_size(struct efivar_entry *entry, unsigned long *size)
{
310: e1a05001 mov r5, r1
const struct efivar_operations *ops = __efivars->ops;
==> 314: e5936008 ldr r6, [r3, #8]
So I think __efivars is NULL on your platform. It is private to the source file. Not sure how the driver should deal with this. Maybe use efi_enabled() but not sure what feature to use. My best bet would be EFI_RUNTIME_SERVICES.
Ah right, thank you for catching this I had looking into this
on my TODO list, but you beat me to it.
IMHO the best fix here would be to modify efivar_entry_size(),
adding:
if (!ops)
return -ENOENT;
Which makes it return the same error as when we do have efivar
support but the requested variable is not found.
Regards,
Hans

status = ops->get_variable(entry->var.VariableName,
