Our patches are similar in case of  fw_cfg apis support it brings to
u-boot but our use case of using them are different.
My patches target tables (ACPI tables to be specific.)

I shared the patch with you on the separate thread. If you read
through the thread, you can find  the details how to reproduce it.

Anyways, I am sharing how you can test my patch to reproduce the error.

1. Apply the patch file(sahred seprately) to u-boot-x86 tree.
patch -p1 *.patch

2. make qemu-x86_defconfig, make all

3. qemu-system-i386 -nographic -bios u-boot.rom -net nic -net
user,tftp=/tftpboot
