Summary:
efi loader does not work with static network parameters. It always uses
BOOTP/DHCP and also uses RARP as a fallback. Problems with DHCP servers can
cause the loader to fail to populate network parameters.

Don't commit to exclusive access to the network device handle by
efinet until the loader has decided to load something through the
network. This allows for the possibility of other users of the
network device.

If the network interface or the uefi implementation do not support the
ReceiveFilter interface do not return only and just print a message.
U-Boot doesn't support is and likely never will. Also even if this fails
it doesn't mean that network in EFI isn't supported.
