Re: [PATCH v9 5/6] efivarfs: force RO when remounting if SetVariable is not supported

[Ilias Apalodimas]

Hi Ard,

I found some more issues in the rest of the patches and Kojima-san will
have to respin those.  This is a straight up fix though of an existing
issue.  Any chance you can pick it up separately? If you need any changes
let me know and I can respin it without the rest of the series

Thanks
