In theory, you can configure UEFI with a set of prebuilt boot options.
If one of them is http(s) the device will boot even if CMDLINE is not
selected. I am not against this patch, but we will remove the
possibility to build a firmware without cmdline that just boots to
whatever is was preconfigured

Cheers
