This patch appears to be causing a build break
STUBCPY drivers/firmware/efi/libstub/lib-sort.stub.o
0000000000000000 R_AARCH64_ABS64 __efistub___crc_sort
drivers/firmware/efi/libstub/lib-sort.stub.o: absolute symbol references
not allowed in the EFI stub
__kcrctab_sort:
.xword __crc_sort
.weak __crc_sort
.text
Which is the EXPORT_SYMBOL() in sort.c combined with !CONFIG_MODVERSIONS.
