commit a821fd49bba7ff8a1aa4b53bb33931bd66961605
Author: Heinrich Schuchardt <heinrich.schuchardt@canonical.com>
Date:   Wed Aug 2 19:41:23 2023 +0200

    Fix creation of device_paths on non-ACPI systems
    
    efi_generate_file_device_path_from_esp() fails if
    /sys/devices/pci0000:00/firmware_node/hid
    does not exist, e.g. on device-tree based systems.
    
    evivar's device_get() stops to search for a device if any of its
    parsers fails. In this case we should continue with the remaining
    parsers. Only if all fail an error will be created.
