(All EFI updates below have the same notes on fixes/chgs. D/L pages linked.
BTW: A 2011 MBP owner said update didn't appear in OS X 10.6.x SU, but D/L updater worked)

The original Apple D/L page listed this for an "Early 2011" iMac but the next day corrected that to Mid-2011. (I removed my original explanation/links on why Early 2011 was incorrect now that the D/L page has been corrected.)
