How about

#define efi_get_handle_at(array, idx)      \
    (efi_is_64bit() ? (efi_handle_t)(unsigned long)((u64 *)(array))[idx] \
                    : (efi_handle_t)(unsigned long)((u32 *)(array))[i])


#define efi_get_handle_num(size) \
    ((size) / (efi_is_64bit() ? sizeof(u64) : sizeof(u32)))

#define for_each_efi_handle(handle, array, size, i) \
    for (i = 0; \
         i < efi_get_handle_num(size) && \
            ((handle = efi_get_handle_at((array), i)) || true); \
         i++)
