if (ret == EFI_SUCCESS && size == sizeof(u16))

If we do not check the size the user will never be informed that his
system is corrupted.

%s/note/not/

"Deleting BootNext failed\n" would make it clearer that this is an error.

%s/note/not/

Or maybe "Deleting BootNext failed\n"

The same logic can be implemented without duplicate code but with size
check:

	/* BootNext */
	size = sizeof(bootnext);
	ret = EFI_CALL(efi_get_variable(L"BootNext",
					(efi_guid_t *)&efi_global_variable_guid,
					NULL, &size, &bootnext));
	if (ret != EFI_NOT_FOUND) {
		if (ret == EFI_BUFFER_TOO_SMALL || size != sizeof(u16))
			printf("BootNext must be 16-bit integer\n");
		/* delete BootNext */
		ret = EFI_CALL(efi_set_variable(L"BootNext",
						(efi_guid_t *)&efi_global_variable_guid,
						0, 0, &bootnext));
		if (ret != EFI_SUCCESS)
			printf("Deleting BootNext failed\n");
	}
	if (ret == EFI_SUCCESS && size == sizeof(u16)) {
		image = try_load_entry(bootnext,
				       device_path, file_path);
		if (image)
			return image;
	}
