Subject: [PATCH 92/98] x86,efi: Check max_size only if it is non-zero.

3.5.7.17 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Richard Weinberger <richard@....at>

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.
