The EFI platform firmware fallback would clobber any pre-allocated buffers. Instead, correctly refuse to reallocate when too small (as already done in the sysfs fallback), or perform allocation normally when needed.

Weird... I'm not sure where that mangling happened. Perhaps a bad cut/paste at 80 columns? Hmpf; thanks for catching. I've updated it on my end (I assume you fixed this manually, though?)
Thanks!

Yes, I fixed it up already, no worries.
