@cypressyew, I cannot have proof that the same issue occurred with v5.2 rc2 from your link, as the kernel does not respond to earlyprintk=efi, but it died pretty much the same way, and no logs were produced.
As I mentioned earlier, the fix in efi.c is a clear indication of a bug in the kernel code. If that isn't sufficient, I'm not sure what is.

The same bug exists in the latest kernel source.

That being said, if you could provide me a kernel build that will have proper logging I could capture, then I can try again. But please, please, to save us some time, first take a quick look at the source, it isn't too hard to see if it is a legitimate bug.
