I missed mentioning the following details -

This patch is created on kernel version 5.4-rc2

Changes in v1:
- dropped following changes
	'depends on EFI' as it is implied
	'default n' as 'n' is the default if not mentioned
	splitting 'bool' to 'bool + prompt'
- added dependency on X86 || COMPILE_TEST
- added the 'Reported-by:' and 'Fix-suggested-by:' to give credit to 
Geert Uytterhoeven who reported the issue and suggested the fix
