+Subject: [PATCH] efi_loader: fix building with CONFIG_EFI_VARIABLES_PRES=
EED=3Dy
+
+Since commit bd3f9ee679b4 ("kbuild: Bump the build system to 6.1")
+out-of-tree builds with CONFIG_EFI_VARIABLES_PRESEED=3Dy fail with error=
s
+like:
+
+    ../lib/efi_loader/efi_var_seed.S:14: Error: file not found:
+    ubootefi.var
+
+For out-of-tree build we cannot use CONFIG_EFI_VAR_SEED_FILE in the
+.incbin statement of file efi_var_seed.S.
+
+* We have to prepend $(srctree) if the path is relative.
+* We must not prepend $(srctree) if the path is absolute.
