There was a problem hiding this comment.
Looks good, I just don't think we need the README update and was curious about the older deployment step in the efi update script. Otherwise this one looks fine

dtbloader supplies the devicetree on EFI platforms without OpenABL. Co-authored-by: JPyke3 <github@pyk.ee>
Mirrors BLS entries, kernels and DTBs onto the ESP for systemd-boot and OpenABL. Entries are written as armada-*.conf so other OSes' entries on the ESP survive syncs and rollbacks. They keep the image version in their version field and mark non-default entries as (Rollback). Like bootctl install, loader.conf is only created when missing, with a 3 second menu and default armada-* following the newest entry. Co-authored-by: JPyke3 <github@pyk.ee>

Supersedes #624
This adds an experimental EFI/UEFI boot path alongside ABL in a single Armada image. Both boot payloads are generated and maintained together.
