Ard has done a immutable branch with just the 2 patches:

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/efi/efi.git/tag/?h=stable-shared-branch-for-driver-tree

I did not see any mails about this being pulled / merged, but I just
checked and this has landed in the tip tree 10 days ago:

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip.git/log/include/linux/efi.h?h=efi/core

So if you merge the stable-shared-branch-for-driver-tree tag and then
merge patches 3-8 of this series (or rather 4-8 since you already
merged 3 IIRC) that would be great.

Hans
