I think this would read easier with:
(PAGE_ALIGNED(md->virt_addr) &&
PAGE_ALIGNED(md->phys_addr + md->num_pages * EFI_PAGE_SIZE))) {

You can't maninulate pgprot_t directly like that. It will
break STRICT_MM_TYPECHECKS. You need to use __pgprot_modify()
and/or pgprot_val().
arch/arm64/kernel/efi.c: In function ‘efi_virtmap_init’:
arch/arm64/kernel/efi.c:266:10: error: invalid operands to binary | (have ‘pgprot_t’ and ‘pgprot_t’)
prot |= __pgprot(PTE_RDONLY);
^
...
(In trying that, I see there are a number of other places which
need some STRICT_MM_TYPECHECKS fixing)
