Your BGRT table has an extra 4 bytes for some reason, (0x3C should be
0x38) and doesn't match the defintion in include/acpi/actbl3.h,


struct acpi_table_bgrt {
	struct acpi_table_header header;	/* Common ACPI table header */
	u16 version;
	u8 status;
	u8 image_type;
	u64 image_address;
	u32 image_offset_x;
	u32 image_offset_y;
};


which explains why when we dereference ->image_address we don't get a
sensible value.

Guys, what do you make of this? Firmware bug? Full thread here,
