Sorry for after I wrote patch, I think it's better we still use your
original patch to fix this bug, because I found the
efi_variable->VariableName allocated 1024 size and it also used by old
vars system.
The following is my patch for reference, but I think your original patch
is better for backward compatible on variable name.
Please consider to merge your original patch!
Thanks a lot!
