In the EFI_LOADER boot path, we were only checking the FAT partition
containing the EFI payload for dtb files.  But this is somewhat of a
fiction.  In reality there will be one small (V)FAT partition containing
grub (or whatever the payload may be), and a second boot partition
containing kernel/initrd/fdt (typically ext4).  It is this second
partition where we should be looking for a FDT to load.

So instead scan all the partitions of the disk containing the EFI
payload.  This matches where grub looks for kernel/initrd (barring
custom grub.cfg, in which case the user can use grub's 'devicetree'
command to load the correct FDT).

The other option is somehow passing the ${fdtfile} to grub so that it
can load the FDT based on selected kernel version location (which grub
knows) and SoC/board specific ${fdtfile} (which grub does not know).

part list spawns 128 error messages for me on a USB stick with an iso dd'ed onto it. I'm not sure we want to do that twice during boot.

This will run the EFI binary twice if we find a DT on disk. Or really nr_dtb_parts_found + 1 times :).

We also don't want to loop through 50 other partitions if the 1st one already contained a dtb. Instead the loop really should end after the first successful boot attempt on that device.

(other distro targets should still get boot attempts, you may want to exit grub from dhcp to enter grub on scsi).

Furthermore I remember that Andreas worked in that area too before, let's make sure to CC him.
