Please turn on CONFIG_CMD_NVEDIT_EFI when building your U-Boot.

This option was disabled by the commit:
        commit 3b728f8728fa (tag: efi-2020-01-rc1)
        Author: Heinrich Schuchardt <xypron.glpk at gmx.de>
        Date:   Sun Oct 6 15:44:22 2019 +0200

            cmd: disable CMD_NVEDIT_EFI by default

The binary size of efi has grown much since in the past, though.
