Work around a quirk in a few old (2011-ish) UEFI implementations, where
a call to `GetNextVariableName` with a buffer size larger than 512 bytes
will always return EFI_INVALID_PARAMETER.
This was already done to efivarfs in commit f45812cc23 ("efivarfs:
Request at most 512 bytes for variable names"), but the second copy of
the variable iteration implementation was overlooked.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
