The commit 35d5134b7d5a ("x86/efi: Correct EFI boot stub use of code32_start") only exists in the stable trees in that form because there was quite a lot of churn in that area in Linus tree that didn't get backported.
So the code in Linus' tree never looked like the code in the stable does right now.

Yeah, I think this issue verifies that.
