Just FYI, the multi-line comment format used throughout this file is,

	/*
	 * This is a multi-line comment
	 */

and it would be better to not break that convention. Deleting entries in
this way seems counter-intuitive to me. Is there a reason that you can't
just delete authenticated variables with efivar_delete()?

You could write this as,

		if (new_var->DataSize < sizeof(*eva))

which would mean that you wouldn't have to split it across two lines
like this.

Stray newline introduced?
