The introduction of the new grub_guid struct which unified the three previously existing guid structs [1,2] causes regressions on some architectures [3..7].
Since there is no satisfactory solution yet and I am too short on time to properly solve this quickly, and not to delay the release of Grub 2.12 any further, I propose to undo these changes and revisit the topic of guid data types and related functions at a later point. This would also give us more time for testing, on a wider set of architectures. This series reverts the unified guid struct and the introduction of the %pG printf format specifier, introduced by these commits: 6ad116e5f guid: Make use of GUID printf format specifier f82dbf2bd kern/misc: Add a format specifier GUIDs 06edd40db guid: Unify GUID types It also fixes code introduced by these commits, since it makes use of the unified GUID struct: e83a88f6e efi: Add grub_efi_set_variable_to_string() e0fa7dc84 bli: Add a module for the Boot Loader Interface This restores the guid handling to the state from before 06edd40db, which has been working on all platforms for many years.
