[PATCH] cmd: efidebug: fix a failure of "boot rm" sub-command

There is a wrong usage of utf8_utf16_strncpy() in "boot rm" command, and then it will end up with a failure of this command due to a wrong value of an interim variable ("var_name16").

This is duplicating code in do_efi_boot_add(). Please, consider putting the following codeblock into separate function:
id = (int)simple_strtoul(argv[1], &endp, 16); if (*endp != '\0' || id > 0xffff) return CMD_RET_USAGE;
sprintf(var_name, "Boot%04X", id); p = var_name16; utf8_utf16_strncpy(&p, var_name, 9);
try_load_entry() has another implementation.

Frankly, I don't like this function's prototype because it is different from "normal" corresponding C libraries. Moreover, as far as I notice, there is no use case where the first parameter which is modified after calling is used in any code.
Thanks, -Takahiro Akashi

No.
Factoring out a separate function does not reduce the code size.
