[U-Boot] [PATCH v3 05/21] efi: Add a TODO to efi_init_obj_list()

This function repeats data structures provided by driver model. They are
only created once so can be stale if the EFI loader is called twice (e.g.
for testing or on boot failure).

Add a TODO to address this. It should be possible to attach EFI devices
and data structures to driver-model devices and avoid having a parallel
set of data structures.
