I think it's better to add both checks like as:

        if ((efi_memreserve_root == (void *)ULONG_MAX) ||
                        (!efi_memreserve_root))
                return -ENODEV;

OK, I'll post a patch sepaletely to add the sanity check.

Good catch. I'll modify the sprintf() format to
use %pa like as:

  phys_addr_t start, end;

  for (i = 0; i < index; i++) {
          start = rsv->entry[i].base;
          end = start + rsv->entry[i].size - 1;

          str += sprintf(str, "%pa-%pa\n", &start, &end);
  }
