+Below is a followup to the patch above: the uninitialized variable could lead
+‘grub-install’ to error out when it shouldn’t (seen on an AArch64 box where
+‘grub_install_remove_efi_entries_by_distributor’ didn't have any entry to
+remove):
+
+  grub-install: error: efibootmgr failed to register the boot entry: Unknown error 65535.
