Looks like I misunderstood your comment from https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/11309223/:

> Please add a an efi_char_from_cpu or similarly named helper

The "le16_to_cpu(ptes[i].partition_name[label_count])" call is the
full implementation of the "efi_char_from_cpu" logic. Do you want
to encapsulate "utf16_le_to_7bit_string" logic entirely like in
the attached version?

Regards,
Nikolai

Subject: [PATCH v4] partitions/efi: Fix partition name parsing in GUID
partition entry

GUID partition entry defined to have a partition name as 36 UTF-16LE
code units. This means that on big-endian platforms ASCII symbols
would be read with 0xXX00 efi_char16_t character code. In order to
correctly extract ASCII characters from a partition name field we
should be converted from 16LE to CPU architecture.

The problem exists on all big endian platforms.
