We only have to care about the low number of EFI handles in U-Boot which 
is block devices + 5.

Having to look up information in two separate commands instead of one 
place is inconvenient.

The output of efidebug devices does not contain any information which 
will not be shown by modified efidebug dh command. So the devices 
command becomes superfluous.

This might be implemented subject to the DisplayOnly argument of 
EFI_DEVICE_PATH_TO_TEXT_PROTOCOL.ConvertDevicePathToText() in a separate 
patch.

It would require adding the GUIDs to list_guid[] in lib/uuid.c and 
switching between '%pUl' and '%pUs' in efi_convert_device_node_to_text.

There is no benefit in having two sub-commands showing the same 
information. Instead we should reduce the code size.
