Okay
But as I said somewhere else, it's quite annoying to me that
some efi_xxx requires EFI_CALL(), and others not.
There should have been consistent naming rules.

Yeah, given that this code is under lib/efi_loader, it may be natural
to use efi_set_variable(). But existing get_var() uses the same style of coding.

Do you want to change all of the call sites including get_var()?

Okay with another indentation.
