> I=E2=80=99ve been looking into this. As of u-boot v2019.10, there are =
some extra checks in efi_disk_read_blocks() and now it will fail with =
EFI_INVALID_PARAMETER if the buffer isn=E2=80=99t aligned. In my case, =
efi_disk_read_blocks() was called with a buffer address of 0x1da06040 =
but with this->media->io_align =3D 512. (See lib/efi_loader/efi_disk.c =
line 125.). Evidently,loader.efi is making disk calls with unaligned =
buffers but it wasn=E2=80=99t an issue until these checks were added. =
That=E2=80=99s as far as I got debugging this.

Found this bug: https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D240572=
 "libefi: FreeBSD cannot boot with U-Boot patch efi_loader: parameter =
checks BLOCK_IO_PROTOCOL"

Looks like a fix has been committed.  I=E2=80=99ll try the updated =
loader.
