I think that it should be possible to reuse the code:

1. There is "is_pmbr_valid()" function @ part_efi.c - so you don't need
to check pmbr validity in the is_valid_gpt_buf function.

2. If 1. is done, then one function can be used to check CRC's for
primary and secondary GPT headers and entries (as is done in the
print_part_efi()).
