3.2.46-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Richard Weinberger <richard@xxxxxx> commit 7791c8423f1f7f4dad94e753bae67461d5b80be8 upstream. Some EFI implementations return always a MaximumVariableSize of 0, check against max_size only if it is non-zero. My Intel DQ67SW desktop board has such an implementation.
