+Subject: [PATCH] Add extra sector count from section entry for EFI catalogue
+
+According to page 11: `Figure 5 - Section Entry' in El Torito Bootable
+CD-ROM Format Specification [1]. The sector count tooks 2 byte which
+means max sector count is 0xffff (65535), for 512-byte sector, the
+size of bootable image is no more than 32MB (65536 * 512 / 1024 / 1024)
+
+If the size of efi.img > 32MB, the partition table will be truncated
+in ISO, which caused UEFI system or grub-efi read efi.img broken
+occasionally.
+
+This patch extend efi_count, mac_count and count to 4 byte int, if
+Yocto defines `Selection criteria type = 2', add extra sector count
+to original sector count as total count; for other situation, still use
+original sector count as usual
+

+
+Upstream-Status: Inappropriate [Yocto specific]
