Commit deb5ca80275e8cfa74d5680b41204e08a095eca5 "disk: part_efi: fix
**pgpt_pte == NULL" modified the code to pass "&gpt_head" to
is_gpt_valid() rather than the previous "gpt_head". However, gpt_head
is a pointer to the buffer, not the actual buffer, since it was allocated
using ALLOC_CACHE_ALIGN_BUFFER. This caused is_gpt_valid() to read the
disk block onto the stack rather than into the buffer, causing the
code to fail.

This change reverts that portion of the commit mentioned above.

...to be fair though, the regression appears to be caused by a mid-air
collision of Anton's change (f75dd584cdfe29dfdcfd424bb237b9238cfb8fe4) with
my change.  His patch was committed on Oct 25th (though authored earlier).
 When I submitted my patch on the Oct 19th against denx/master, I'm pretty
sure it was correct.

Thank you for finding / fixing!  :)

-Doug

Mike, do you think you could pull this into staging as per Wolfgang's
recent request for help?

Thanks,

Please can one of the maintainers grab this and put it in staging?

I've seen similar patch, it is already in arm tree:

OK, that's a funny place for it, but OK. Thanks for pointing that out.

Hi Simon,

I grab it in my TODO list in patchwork, I will take a look at it.

Thanks Stefano - please also see Anatolij's email on this thread. It
seems that Albert may have picked up a similar patch.

In fact the patch "Fix errors noticed after enabling
CONFIG_EFI_PARTITION for the OMAP3 EVM board" has already fixed this
issue. There is no need to merge this patch.

Best regards.
