There is a wrong usage of utf8_utf16_strncpy() in "boot rm" command, and
then it will end up with a failure of this command due to a wrong
value of an interim variable ("var_name16").

This is duplicating code in do_efi_boot_add(). Please, consider putting
the following codeblock into separate function:

         id = (int)simple_strtoul(argv[1], &endp, 16);
         if (*endp != '\0' || id > 0xffff)
                 return CMD_RET_USAGE;

         sprintf(var_name, "Boot%04X", id);
         p = var_name16;
         utf8_utf16_strncpy(&p, var_name, 9);

try_load_entry() has another implementation.

Best regards

Heinrich

Frankly, I don't like this function's prototype because it is different
from "normal" corresponding C libraries.
Moreover, as far as I notice, there is no use case where the first
parameter which is modified after calling is used in any code.

Factoring out a separate function does not reduce the code size.
