Thanks a lot for trying out the patch!

Please don't modify your install at this stage, I think we are hitting a
firmware bug and that would be awesome if we can fix how we are handling it.
So, if we reach that stage in the function it could either be that:
* The allocation did not succeed, somehow, but the firmware still returned
EFI_SUCCEED.
* The size requested is incorrect (I'm thinking something like a 1G of
log). This would be due to either a miscalculation of log_size (possible)
or; the returned values of GetEventLog are not correct.
I'm sending a patch to add checks for these. Could you please apply and
retest?
Again, thanks for helping debugging this.
