Yes, I know. That's why I used TODO here.
The reason that this test fails is that we don't support read-only
variables, more strictly, we do have read-only attribute, but don't
have any interface to specify read-only attribute for any variable.

Read-only is an implicit nature of variable only attributed to
some "global" variables UEFI specification defines. So we should
fix the issue in a separate patch.
