    I just gave v6.1.82 a try, and it fails to boot for me. That seems to be a
    regression from the 6.1.0 that I tested previously.

    I should have mentioned this previously, here's the EFI-related kconfig that I
    am using. If there's anything missing then please let me know:

    CONFIG_EFI=y
    CONFIG_EFI_EARLYCON=y
    CONFIG_EFI_ESRT=y
    # CONFIG_EFI_HANDOVER_PROTOCOL is not set
    CONFIG_EFI_MIXED=y
    CONFIG_EFI_RUNTIME_WRAPPERS=y
    CONFIG_EFI_STUB=y
    CONFIG_EFI_VARS_PSTORE=m
    CONFIG_EFI_VARS_PSTORE_DEFAULT_DISABLE=y

    Note that the EFI handover protocol support is disabled, I was under the
    impression that it's not required for mixed mode.

    Please let me know if there's any more information I can provide about my
    testing / setup.
