Most functions in the uefi package return a Result<Output>, but some return Result<Output, ErrData>. This makes it challenging to write your own methods returning Resut<T>, especially because the Error type is not exported.

An easy way to fix this is to just add a method converting a Result<Output, ErrData> to a Result<Output>, keeping the status but discarding the data.
