Hi, this is my first time posting to a kernel list (third try, finally figured out the html-free -- sorry for the noise).

I noticed that in the 6.6 kernel there's a fix commit from Ard [1] but not the commit it's fixing ("efivarfs: Add uid/gid mount options"). Same thing in 6.1 [2]. The commit being fixed doesn't appear until 6.7 [3].

I'm not familiar with this code so it's unclear to me if this might cause problems, but I figured I should point it out.

Good catch. Ard, should this be reverted?

thanks,
