Subject[PATCH 4.9 28/59] efi/libstub/arm64: Use hidden attribute for struct screen_info reference
Date
4.9-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Ard Biesheuvel <ard.biesheuvel@linaro.org>

commit 760b61d76da6d6a99eb245ab61abf71ca5415cea upstream.

To prevent the compiler from emitting absolute references to screen_info
when building position independent code, redeclare the symbol with hidden
visibility.
