Hello Redhat,
this is the patch that I'm willing to send upstream.
Please, let me know your thoughts.
This patch is on top of Avoiding many unecessary open close that I'll attach here as well (I don't know if it is already applied to RHEL7.9)

Patch avoiding many unecessary open/close during the boot
I expect IBM will verify it, providing qa_ack.

Hello Red Hat / Javier, ... can you please provide us the updated grub2 rpm (for ppc64le ..) for our early testing ...? Please advise ... Thanks in advance for your support. I just wanted to provide some clarification just in case there is some confusion. The patch to "avoiding many unnecessary open/close during the boot" has already been backported into RHEL7.9. This BZ is ONLY for backporting the "Retry open and read on failure" code from attachment "https://bugzilla.redhat.com/attachment.cgi?id=1768256".
