This changed a while back. What it appears happened was that the vfat
filesystem for some reason now understands upper/lower case. In
actuality it was always /boot/efi/EFI but the linux implementation of
vfat shifted the directory name to lower case.
Note that under the EFI shell it was always an upper case EFI as that is
what is actually on the filesystem. I would suggest modifying your test
to handle either case.
That's not a good idea. Although it's caused by vfat
improvements, I would
suggest to keep the old interface.
Long long ago, there was a long discussion about interface change on LKML. It's
a bad idea to change interfaces or API when they become de facto.
