Why don't you use "fdt" command in that case?
IMO, we don't need <fdt> argument at bootefi (and run -e).
Obviously, I have one assumption that we need change the code
to utilize "fdtaddr" variable in do_bootefi().

Under the current implementation, a similar behavior is achieved
only via distro_bootcmd. IMO, this should be corrected.
If you agree, I will add another patch to my current patchset
for this purpose.

What I meant is that people need not learn more commands.

# Relating to secure boot, I'm now thinking of pulling bootmgr out of
# bootefi and making it as a single command. In that case,
# bootefi does exist only for hello and selftest.
