commit c05f8f92b701576b615f30aac31fabdc0648649b upstream. The kernel command line option efivar_ssdt= allows the name to be specified of an EFI variable containing an ACPI SSDT table that should be loaded into memory by the OS, and treated as if it was provided by the firmware. Currently, that code will always iterate over the EFI variables and compare each name with the provided name, even if the command line option wasn't set to begin with. So bail early when no variable name was provided. This works around a boot regression on the 2012 Mac Pro, as reported by Scott.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
