Even though I am not a fan of the 'success handling' pattern,
duplicating the exact same error handling three times is not great
either. Could we reuse more of the code here?

What is the point of calling efi_parse_options() with an empty string?

Does this mean CONFIG_GENERIC_CMDLINE does not replace CMDLINE_EXTEND
/ CMDLINE_FORCE etc, but introduces yet another variant on top of
those?
That does not seem like an improvement to me. I think it is great that
you are cleaning this up, but only if it means we can get rid of the
old implementation.
