Since commit 4466bf82821b ("efi/apple-properties: use PROPERTY_ENTRY_U8_ARRAY_LEN"), my MacBook Pro issues a -ENODATA error when trying to assign EFI properties to the discrete GPU: pci 0000:01:00.0: assigning 56 device properties pci 0000:01:00.0: error -61 assigning properties That's because some of the properties have no value. They're booleans whose presence can be checked by drivers, e.g. "use-backlight-blanking". Commit 6e98503dba64 ("efi/apple-properties: Remove redundant attribute initialization from unmarshal_key_value_pairs()") employed a trick to store such booleans as u8 arrays (which is the data type used for all other EFI properties on Macs): It cleared the property_entry's "is_array" flag, thereby denoting that the value is stored inline in the property_entry. Commit 4466bf82821b erroneously removed that trick. It was probably a little fragile to begin with. Reinstate support for boolean properties by explicitly invoking the PROPERTY_ENTRY_BOOL() initializer for properties with zero-length value.
