This means the efi_bgrt_init failed out originally before the early init BGRT
patch. Checking the code the only difference is current code we have no
below code:
status = acpi_get_table("BGRT", 0,
(struct acpi_table_header **)&bgrt_tab);
if (ACPI_FAILURE(status))
return;
So probably acpi_get_table has some more sanity checking and it failed
early. Can you add a printk before above return to confirm it? Just test
the old kernel without early init BGRT patch.
