Starting in commit e14ab23dde12b80db4c94b684a2e485b72b16af3, efivars_sysfs_init() is called both by itself as an init function, and by drivers/firmware/google/gsmi.c gsmi_init().
This results in runtime warnings such as the following: [ 5.651330] WARNING: at fs/sysfs/dir.c:530 sysfs_add_one+0xbd/0xe0() [ 5.657699] sysfs: cannot create duplicate filename '/firmware/gsmi/vars' Fixing this by removing the redundant efivars_sysfs_init() call in gsmi_init(). Tested: booted, checked that /firmware/gsmi/vars was still present and showed the expected contents.
