Ah right, it's in the commit log, as requested. Apologies for not spotting that.
Given how UV is a bit of an outlier, I'd prefer it if we could make
this functionality a bit more light weight, by only exposing the lock
if needed, and not create a global symbol for an internal lock if we
can avoid it.
Could you please try something along the lines of

and add a declaration
extern struct semaphore __efi_uv_runtime_lock;
to bios_uv.c itself rather than to a header file? You can combine this
with your changes in patch #4 (and drop the first patch entirely)
Also, I noticed that there is some CONFIG_EFI guarded code in
bios_uv.c while the whole file already depends on CONFIG_EFI via the
Kconfig symbol. Perhaps you could include a patch to clean that up as
well? Thanks.
