The UEFI Shell is a non-active boot option, at the opposite of UiApp.
If no valid boot option is found, UiApp is selected. UiApp requires a
human interaction. When installing a new EDKII image in CIs or when
scripting is required, this is problematic.

If no valid boot option is discovered, add a path to directly go to
the UEFI Shell where the startup.nsh script is automatically executed.
The UEFI Shell is launched after connecting possible devices, but
before the reset that is meant to automatically make them visible.

The new PcdUefiShellDefaultBootEnable must be set to TRUE to enable
this behaviour. The Pcd is set to false by default.


Is this similar to how we implemented this on RPi4? IIRC, a similar
issue came up there as well.

I'm not finding an equivalent for the Rpi4. I see that the
BootDiscoveryPolicy was added, but this regards which devices to connect
during boot IIUC. The UEFI Shell also seems to have been added to the
Boot Manager Menu, but this should not select the UEFI Shell by default.

Regards,
Pierre
