Hi Ard, no need for apologies at all - this is a known vacation period
in the year =)

That part is sad heheh
I mean, it's a pity I could convince you - I still don't see how can
kernel let UEFI know about a panic without this patch (or pstore, which
I still think is the wrong way and sometimes impossible to use, due to
other pstore backend usage).

Anyway, nothing I can do about that it seems, unfortunately heheh

Submitted the V2 fix here:
