James, All,

This is starting to look nice! Thanks for the respin! :-)

So, this is supposed to replace gummiboot, for which we already do have
a package, so I'd have expected a further patch last in the series,
which would get rid of gummiboot.

See also a few comments, below...

So, you select gnu-efi, but you did not propagate the dependencies from
it, i.e. you need to add:

    # gnu-efi
    depends on BR2_ARM_CPU_HAS_ARM || BR2_aarch64 || \
            BR2_aarch64_be || BR2_i386 || BR2_x86_64

However, gummi-boot is currently only available for x86 and x86_64. Was
that somehow lifted for systemd-boot?

Furthermore, there is no dependency expressed in the systemd.mk file
(see continuation [0], below...)

[0] ... here, where you probably need something like:

    SYSTEMD_DEPENDENCIES += gnu-efi

> +SYSTEMD_CONF_OPTS += -Defi=true -Dgnu-efi=true

And once you enable gnu-efi, you also unlock -Dtpm and -Dtpm-pcrindex.
Would it make sense to at least disable with -Dtpm=false ?
