strange grub error on ARM64

Hi,
I am working on a cross-architecture cleanup series that removes the
arch specific headers from RISC-V, ARM, ARM64 and unifies the linux
loader on ARM64 & Linux.

The v7 version can be found here.
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/grub-devel/2023-02/msg00046.html

It had a few bugs which are fixed and can be found here.

Here are the patches
https://github.com/atishp04/grub/commits/riscv_uefi_v8

Anybody with ARM64 and/or test setup: Can you please do a quick test
to see if you see similar or any other failure ?

I noticed a very strange error during ARM64 testing. I have probably
done something stupid during the grub build
as I can reproduce this with upstream grub as well.

I was trying to boot an OpenSuse image in qemu virt machine for ARM64 as per
the instructions[1]. The stock grub image works fine however my custom
build fails to boot
and drops to the grub command line. It seems the grub detects the disk
but doesn't read the root partition correctly on my cross-compiled image.
It has one additional directory ("@") which I don't see when I mount
the disk. it doesn't list any files as well.
============= Cross compiled grub image =====================
grub> ls -l (hd0,gpt3)/
DIR          20230302080325 @/

grub> ls -l (hd0,gpt3)/@/
DIR          20230302080326 boot/
DIR         srv/
DIR          20230302080326 usr/
DIR         opt/
DIR          20230302080326 home/
DIR         var/
DIR         tmp/
DIR         root/

grub> ls -l (hd0,gpt3)/@/boot/
DIR          20230302080326 grub2/

grub>
============= Stock grub image from the OpenSuse image=====================
grub> ls (hd0,gpt3)/
dev/ run/ boot/ config.partids lib sbin srv/ usr/ opt/ config.bootoptions lib64
.snapshots/ bin home/ etc/ var/ tmp/ sys/ mnt/ proc/ root/

The same build steps works fine for RISC-V for OpenSuse image though.
However, I couldn't figure out what it was. Any help is appreciated.
