You probably want to include efivarfs (efivars is obsolete and removed
in linux kernel 6). Thus the current patch has no effect on bullseye-
backports, testing and up.
efivarfs is available since linux 3.10. So maybe including efivarfs
only is a better option (since with efivars being removed I get a
warning at boot from initramfs that it cannot load unavailable efivars
module.
Cheers,
Alban
