+Since kernel 5.7 there's an alternative way of loading an initrd using
+LoadFile2 protocol if CONFIG_EFI_LOAD_FILE2_INITRD is enabled.
+The initrd path can be specified with::

+ efidebug boot add -b ABE0 'kernel' mmc 0:1 Image -i mmc 0:1 initrd

Now your board can run the signed image via the boot manager (see below).
You can also try this sequence by running Pytest, test_efi_secboot,

RAM disk. U-Boot can be configured to provide an implementation with::
EFI_LOAD_FILE2_INITRD=y

+the array (FilePathList[0]) is the EFI binary to execute. When an initrd
+is specified the Device Path for the initrd is denoted by a VenMedia node
+with the EFI_INITRD_MEDIA_GUID. Each entry of the array is terminated by the
+'end of entire device path' subtype (0xff). If a user wants to define multiple
+initrds, those must by separated by the 'end of this instance' identifier of
+the end node (0x01).

+ Loaded image - end node (0xff) - VenMedia - initrd_1 - [end node (0x01) - initrd_n ...] - end node (0xff)
