[REGRESSION] Out of memory error: unable to boot on imx8mp/imx8mm

[Ilias Apalodimas]

Joao, there's 3 places that
'ERROR: Out of memory'. Since I don't have access to the board, can
you change the prints a bit and figure out where it comes from? I
assume it's from efi_console.c. Can we verify it?

Thanks
