As it wasn't in the context, that's commit ID e38457c361b30c5a, which
was introduced in v4.3-rc1.

However, the check on the base address was always buggy since its
introduction in v3.16 in commit 3c7f255039a2ad6e ("arm64: efi: add EFI
stub"), so that portion needs to be backported further.

Thanks,
Mark.
